Moving goals easy ...
Moving the goals is pretty easy, but that is if noone is tugging on any of the goals. Attached is our robot from last year pushing 3 goals. Our latches from last year don't work on these goals and we aren't planning on destroying last years robot, that is why we are pushing it.

Some details:

Wheel diameter = 8"
Motor type = drill in low
gear ratio = 2:1
drive type = 4 wheel skid steer
tire material: Front - timing belt; Rear - Confidential

Disclaimers:

1. We did not modify last year's robot at all.
2. We performed this experiment to get a data point on how hard it would be to move 3 goals
3. As you can see in the video, our speed was pretty good

The million dollar question: Will this be enough???? Time will tell.

NOTE: The voice at the end is mine. I didn't know he was recording sound.

Well, I just got the message that I can't upload the movie and I don't want to delete everything. Does anyone know what I can do to upload the movie?
