FIRST (

) of all, thanks for releasing these! The tech binder is just beautifully made! I had some questions though.
1. It's mentioned your drive train was designed for sudden bursts of acceleration, but you're geared for 20 fps+. Why was such a high speed chosen over a lower speed that would have accelerated faster?
2. You had quite a bit of motors and pistons on the robot, how was your battery life?
3.I recall you experimented with alternate material for bumpers this year, how did they hold up?
4. No recipes in the build blog? Has the lack of free corndogs doomed us all?
