uphill

Remember that part of this game includes an uphill climb.

We first had our 'bot going about 12.5 fps... but it was not getting enough acceleration up the hill. So, we actuallly slowed it down with a different gear ratio to make it climb the hill faster.

... and that is with the 4 most powerful motors in the kit.

Speed is tricky this year.
