Re: Team 1625 Minibot FIRST Run

Hmmm,

Based on the sound from the video, it seems like your storing energy from the motors prior to the start of the video. This would infact give you that crazy fast launch, however, because of Team Update 5, you cannot start storing energy until after deployment starts. So yes, your minibot climbs fast, but you need to increase the time to include the time it takes the motors to wind up.
