I may investigate a direct-drive option this weekend; though we also need to do a better "V" for the deployment mechanism.

As for minibot that takes less than 1 second to go > 7.5 feet? Well, I've had a bit of foot-in-mouth about minibots this season so I won't really comment on it.
Team 190 has quite the out of box approach to accomplishing the minibot task.
I recommend that come the WPI regional, watch match videos just to see it.

I am sworn to secrecy, but I will tell you this much, it's pretty brilliant.
