the only forseeable way to do it is through pneumatics.

ill believe it when i see it on video.
They never said they did it in 2 seconds. They flip over the wall in two seconds. They dont hit the boxes in two seconds. who cares if it takes two seconds, or a few more, I'd imagine itd be faster than any other method. Im worried that something goes wrong and you crash down on the polycarb sides (Or are they Lexan) If that happens, I don't ever see the officials letting you run the bot like that again.
