Re: The Robonauts 118 - 2013 Video

You also fail to mention that 118's 30 point climb seems a lot slower than 1986's. They've got a clocked time at 21 seconds which is the fastest seen in the competition so far (shameless plug: ours has been clocked at 23...but we may be able to trim some built in delay times to make it a tight race ) Anyways, until we really see how slow (or fast) 118's climb is, we really can't tell which is theoretically superior to the other. For my money, if I was in the envious position of having to make an alliance selection between those two beautifully engineered machines, I'd take 1986. Full court shooting when you're less than 30 inches tall is going to be moot as soon as you stick a defender in front of you. Once you eliminate that factor, 1986 looks to be the superior machine.
