Re: 30+ MPH Robot Possible?

This one team made a robot from a tote that could supposedly go 50 MPH. From my understanding I'm pretty sure it was just 4 CIM motors attached to a tote. I believe they also used a standard FRC battery. So yes it can be done the main idea is to just have it be as light as possible.

Here's a link to the YouTube video

There was also a thread about the tote bot which can be found here

Andymark actually used to sell a kit to make this after that thread came out but it would appear they don't have that anymore.
