Re: Team 573's minibot

We have a new video to share:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dw2avUV7Svk


A lot has been added to our minibot since the last video. Light switches have been added and a device to hold the bot to the pole has been added as well. The minibot weighs a total of seven pounds right now, but we think we can put it on a diet. The climb time has increased from just under four seconds to six.

For this test, we clamped our minibot cradle to our cart and pushed the cart towards the pole to simulate deployment.

Comments and critiques are appreciated.
