tow a car that's in gear and i'll be impressed. ;-)

Weren't there full sized pick-ups being towed last year??

Now, tow a F-450 in gear and I will be impressed.

At the California Robot Games last fall there was a truck pulling competition to see who could pull a truck a certain distance the fastest.

With more physical contacts this year and a lot more pushing, the robots this year are probably going to have to be stronger than last year's, so I wouldn't be too surprised to see robots that can tow trucks.

I believe you can buy it in the MSC book. Small parts never had it in stock last year.

Congratulations, you overcame static friction.

Bah, we had TOBOR V pulling a truck (in neutral, of course) last year! ;) I wonder if there are pictures ...

Towing a truck is not impressive at all...granted, it does look like a hurculean feat to outsiders, but as soon as you overcome the initial friction and the wheels start rolling, my dog could pull a truck. Pull me a 747 and then ill be impressed:D

oddly enough, it was us, Truck. lol, well yeah, our drivetrain from last year could pull a full size pickup easily.

Yeah...well...yeah...Chuck was pulling a bus up a hill that was filled with kids and full throttle in reverse. No really. Me lie? What?
