In the corner of their website, it says, "A Win Pump Company". :p Please record the conversation you have with them as I am sure the advice you will get will be quite priceless. |

HEY! Is that the height you are planning on deploying your minibot??? Because if not, then I think you are under a false illusion that your minibot goes up in 1.75 seconds. Thanks

Even if they deployed from the very bottom of the pole, this is still the fastest mini-bot posted on the net thus far. |

Going on a wild guess here (Someone from 1625 please correct me if I'm wrong) but It looks to me that the Mini-Bot in the Video is being held right around 18" from the Platform. Also, it looks like there might even be a black line on the pole right above the mini-bot, but the video isn't clear enough to tell. Your team may be different, but I know none of our prototypes, nor any others I've seen climb the tower with the Sort of speed that 1625's Mini-bot does. |
Re: Team 1625 Minibot FIRST Run
With the default gearing (1:52), we climbed the pole at 4.1 seconds. We tried gearing the minibot up 2:1 -- and took off exactly the same amount of weight that we added with the gears.
Our new time: (drumroll please!) 4.5 seconds. Drat! Time for more tweaking! |

Be skeptical all you want, but where you settle for speed is up to you, it takes alot for us to be happy with something. |

I'm just having issues with my MINIBOT team because it seems that variations on weight and gearing keep resulting in about 4s of climb time no matter what we do, and I'm about to brain myself on a wall in frustration! |

I'd take a team that had a remarkably consistent minibot over a team that tore their hair out for weeks trying to shave off a second, falling off the bar half the time. Settling is bad, yes - never do it... as long as you don't backpedal. Don't let the greats discourage you! |

That said, someone mentioned something about the HOSTBOT not being able to deploy the MINIBOT, and that has me worried that I've missed something... The HOSTBOT is permitted to push the MINIBOT onto the tower pole, right? |
