Dan Ernst was dying to get a photo of an airbound robot all season. He was excited to catch #2612 with all 4 wheels off the ground in Atlanta!

I'm pretty sure it would be *POSSIBLE* to snap such a picture of either 1114 or 2056, among others, I just don't know if anyone HAS.

just kidding, this is a great shot! I'd love to see other shots too.

this is absolutely amazing... to catch this at that exact time is impressive enough

It's *POSSIBLE*, but not likely.

At the Michigan State Competition, team 910 took flight; they were coming over the bump from the midfield to the offensive zone, and they had to have been at least 6 inches in the air :rolleyes:

I'm pretty sure all robots can fly. After all, we build them the same way we get to Neverland: faith, trust, pixie dust (AKA that magic every team's 'Tinker Bell' supplies), and happy thoughts. Lots and lots of happy thoughts....

That's exactly what I'm talking about :cool:

You guys were one of the fastest, if not the fastest teams out there.
