2415 Prototype Minibot

Here is our minibot prototype. We plan to manufacture the final version in the next week (which should be, we hope, at least 1 second faster). As is, it starts when it touched the pole (has that option although not displayed in video for timing purposes), goes up in about 2.5 seconds, and comes back down on its own. We plan to cut weight, and have some other tricks up our sleeve. ;)

I'd seriously like to know how you got a bunch of cardboard to climb a pole.

Was it magic?

Anyway...good time I guess? Thats a full size pole?

Re: 2415 Prototype Minibot

do you have a latching mechanism to have the minibot attach to the pole?
