Team Kika Mana 368 1.20 sec minibot
Hey folks - we'll see you on Curie later this week !!
Mahalo to 987 for the photoresistor idea and 233 for the ramp idea. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmT9nTWqDOU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfvE1Me5dI8 |

That is pretty fast...but I get the feeling these 100th of a second times are getting a bit crazy in the minibot arms race.
Not saying that your minibot doesn't get up in 1.20 s, but I'm interested to see if they hold up on the field. That goes both ways though, I'm thinking its a 1.2 +- .05ish in the accuracy range, but I guess we'll see if two really fast minibots go against each other. |

Yes, the arms race is definitely heating up! Good luck to all! |

At the risk of saying it out loud and then having someone beat it, 1.2s is beginning to have the look of a theoretical limit for the tetrix motors and battery.

I'm really hoping there are a lot of opportunities for the fastest minibots to race in St Louis. As long as those pressure senors at the top work well, it'll make the end game really interesting. |

Good job, Kika Mana! I am sure I will get a chance to see that amazing minibot since we will probably be pit neighbors. From what I've seen you already had the fastest (competition) mini bot in the Curie division from your times in the the Hawaii regional, and you just shaved a tenth off! |

Cool minibot by the way. Can you explain the photo-resister? |

In theory if you create small diameter shafts as rollers, you could, (not saying we have, because we didn't) gear the textrix motors up to 14,000 or 20,000 rpms, and given that the shaft size isn't so large that it burns out the motors you could theorticallly be looking at a .5-.7 second ascent. Now if only I had thought about it a few weeks ago, but oh well we shall be satisifed with our 1.4 second deploy and climb good luck to you all at st. louis.

It would be awesome to walk out to on the field, pull the minibot out of cooler with fog flowing all around (smoke machine :D )and load it into the robot. The minibot kids really wanted to do this but of course it is an unnecessary frostbite hazard::safety:: |
