Re: Minibot Falling Solutions
There have been several demonstrations of great performing minibots slowly returning to the base of the tower after reaching the target. Kudos to them. Given Update #6 restriction on using assistive devices to retrieve a minibot is there a team who has figured out how to achieve a slow return willing to share their solution as a way to help possibly hundreds of teams avoid the potential damages likely to happen from free fall situations? For example, many teams designs won't be able to take advantage of a shorting of motor leads to act as a break of sorts because they don't backdrive. I don't see how sharing would give away any potential competitive advantage since it has no effect on the race to the target... and see great advantage to helping a fast minibot that could be potentially be your alliance partner stay intact enough to benefit your team as well...
