Re: Minibot climb rate

I'm calling shenanigans on a minibot under 3 seconds. Reliably deploying and shutting off while making the climb in under 3.5 seconds is even improbable @ 14V, perfect peak power, and the minimum 3.5lbs it takes for the battery, motors, switches, [custom] wheels, and just 1 ft. of attachment structure held together with magic (or rivets...).
