Also, I want to see a robot that can reliably beat out team 60. I don't care how fast you are....the one way net of death combined with lightning speed and being immovable on the ramp is pretty bulletproof.

130 pounds surrounded by diamond plate armor.
13.6 feet per second.
A heckuvalotta force.
10 seconds is all thats needed to move an immovable object.
hrmm, well by the end of the LA regionals, 'bots were getting to 60. Going under its wings and pushing them from there, it'll be a toughie but it prolly could be done. Man, too bad we didnt get our custom transmission in, 25 ft/sec in fast gear, heckuva lotta push in low, shift on the fly =(
