Its easy to get lost at a regional with 16, 71, 111, 118, and 1625
This makes it more fulfilling when you perform how you intend to. Very intimidating but worth going to Midwest every year. And I think you left a team off that list... *cough cough* 1732...Hilltoppers...YOU *cough cough*. But thanks, its great to be acknowledged by a veteran team like you

One of my favorite robots, and one of my favorite teams to talk to at Midwest.
Thanks, and I'm glad you enjoy talking to us! I know we can talk people's ear off sometimes... some people aren't into that kind of thing

I'm still dumbfounded how to create a minibot this fast. The fastest I can seem to comeup with is 1.4 seconds (climb time).
Simple. Figure out the max power you can get from the motors, slap some magnets on it, figure out the wheel size, and charge the crap out of the battery... well, maybe its not that simple...
