Can't wait to play with you guys.

Re: FRC Team 4499 Robot
 

It is going to be a blast! See you in eleven days.

Re: FRC Team 4499 Robot
 

that looks like it would be fun to drive... good luck this season!

Re: FRC Team 4499 Robot
 

It is a lot of fun, 20 ft/s is really fast!

Re: FRC Team 4499 Robot
 

That is very fast!, does your robot get air(Dukes of Stronghold) when going over certain obstacles?

JVN Calc says that your low speed is about 7 ft/s


Which speed(high or low) are you using/planning to use the most?

Re: FRC Team 4499 Robot
 

We definitely can get some air, but more than likely we will be using low gear to go over the defenses so it isn't so hard on the robot. We will use high gear to go through the low bar and secret passage.
