Your time? The amount of time it took for you to read this thread is probably equal to the amount of time you spent writing this reply! However you are entitled to rage quit if needed :D

No you see, we're pushing them so hard that they're forced to do a wheelie.

DISCLAIMER: This was all Determan's idea, I had no part in the orchestrating of said leg designs, although this does make an interesting off-season project...

At no time has FIRST team 68 considered legs. I should mention that the doors to our shop are always open to teams who are interested in checking out what we are doing. Feel free to stop in but don't be surprised if we put you to work. Lol

While it is true that we never considered a legged robot this year, we did at some point throw around the idea of other modes of transportation, including the opposite of legs: a hovercraft. It was briefly brought up the day of kickoff as a joke, but it almost seemed viable on January 11, after we were embroiled in a three-day debate over wide/long-bot configuration. (You can ask Determan about his real crazy idea [which involved two drivetrains]) I felt like a hovercraft might have actually solved our problems.
