Aren't you so relieved that we don't have to ship out our mini-bots with our big bots?

We've had a subteam working on it from day one. They have it down to right around 3 seconds up. That activates a switch and it comes down nicely in slow motion by stalling the motors. We're spiraling up the pole which is something we are working on to get the times down more. Deployment is a simple cylinder activated arm. I'm assuming the lack of posts on CD is due to teams holding their cards close to their vests since teams can still work on their minibots after the ship date???

My team has a working deployment system and a minibot that is relatively fast. It is just that the pneumatics are leaking or something.

We tested today and had deploy+climb at <3 seconds about a dozen times in a row. Very consistent!

So we have been arguing about restarting our mini-bot, but we dont know if we have time and though our current mini-bot is too hefty and innaccurate our only other design is one that only uses lego parts. Can you only use lego parts and a brain?
