Re: Minibots & Airports ... any travel tips?
We carried ours on the plane from Sydney to Hawaii with no issues. The interesting part was while our minibot made it straight through security, a specially designed ratchet for our arm had a hard time. Our head mentor had to take it 3 levels up in management at Sydney Airport for us to be able to carry it onto the plane!
Please also note we had mentors carry everything on board and we were dealing with Australian Security. At the US security checkpoint, (to get on a plane from Australia to the USA you have to go through Australian security to get into the terminal then US security to get to the gate.) we didn't get pulled over so the TSA never saw our minibot.
