Maybe next years game should require the robots to fly
That would be the the best celebration. Hmm, how could I get a 130lb with only a couple of drill motors.....Not likely (although I think a hover bot would be possible).
It would be cool if teams built their own FIRST airplanes. They could build something like a souped up model airplane. They could use the EDUbot controller and radio. The positional servos in the kit are commonly used in model airplanes to control rudders. An old bosch (no gearbox) on a propeller might be able to lift it. It would weigh a lot. Also it would probably be a little too dangerous to operate in the pits. Safety Goggles Everyone!
