Re: Minibots

We've had a subteam working on it from day one. They have it down to right around 3 seconds up. That activates a switch and it comes down nicely in slow motion by stalling the motors. We're spiraling up the pole which is something we are working on to get the times down more. Deployment is a simple cylinder activated arm. I'm assuming the lack of posts on CD is due to teams holding their cards close to their vests since teams can still work on their minibots after the ship date???
