we were only beaten to the wall once, by a bot that made it in 3.
From the calculations we did on energy and HP - 3.0 seconds should be the fastest - if anyone does better than that, have their bot re-inspected - they are cheating! :c)

Not true. We timed 2 Minute Warning at 2.75 seconds and when we posted it, Thunderchickens said they clocked us at 2.6 seconds. The key is a strong drive-train and dead reckoning. Many of our team-members have worked on Lego League teams and in that time we discovered that sensors usually, if not always, slow you down. Another way to increase speed is put more than one motor on a wheel. Lastly, curving, not forward, turn, forward drastically increases speed.
