Re: The 4 Big Questions!

unless they limit the motors that we can use this year, then HumanPlayer Vs Robot would not be an evenly matched contest

a healthy 18 yr old male can put out about 1/3 to 1/2 HP of energy for a short period of time. The motors and power source we had last year could put out 2 HP of energy.

in otherwords, the robot (if well designed) would be 4 to 6 times more powerful than any human player, and if it weighs less than 130 lbs, would easily be faster and more responsive.
