Team 931 Minibots!

Here's a short video of our minibot, Gearmµ (Get it, get it?) in action. This is minibot rev 6.1 for us and we're going to bring at least three (maybe more) of these to world championships with us.

We will be letting other teams use our minibots as well, so if your team is interested just PM me or reply to this post. If you ARE interested in borrowing the minibot, I can give details on how it needs to be mounted as well. (We would like to see your deployment system due to the safety of our minibot)

Here it is: 700ms up a 7 foot pole and with the acceleration that this little guy has, 10 feet is under 1 second

Good luck to all teams out there!!

(if you look really closely at the left of the main action of the video, you can see the chassis of minibot rev 1)
