Re: First Official 2012 Game Hint
Not necessarily true. If they were to be done by volume (i.e. a 50gal trash can filled to the brim) they accuracy in terms of numbers isn't as important. As long as roughly the same volume is on the...

Re: 2010 Lesson Learned: The Negative
My biggest complaint: bumpers.
When rules on bumpers get close to the same length as the robot rules... you have a problem.

Re: pic: 321 RoboLancers is
We used a toughbox with a CIM, thats all. It's crazy how similar our two bots are. What style drivetrain do you have? It looks like an 8wd, but I could be mistaken.
