Man, oh man, is that robot a brute. Here are just a few specs from the bot thus far.

The whole frame is all welded 3/8" or 1/2" thick aluminum angle
It's a 4wd configuration with dually style pneumatic tires (8 wheels total)
It has 2 speed transmissions, 1 CIM per trans, 5fps low gear, 25fps high gear (hearsay from a mentor from 2002)
It has a 360* turret mounted to the top, powered by a drill motor
It has 2 opposing arms with pneumatic claws, driven out by lead screws on drill motors to grab goals
It has an IR tower on top, for autonomous driving
That would be an impressive feat. There's no possible way it's geared for 25 ft/s though. With one CIM per gearbox you would never get to full speed.

Plus everyone knows 60 and 180 were the two fastest robots that year, and they weren't that fast
