Re: Drag Racing....

If you are talking about "Chariot Races" then yes. Typically, teams that do not make the elimination rounds enter these races for fun. They don't care if they burn out a motor since there is no more competition. The concept is simple: tie your robot to your cart (chariot), put your lightest team member (charioteer) on the cart, give him the Operator Interface (reigns) and teather it to the bot (horse), Then GO (VADO)! Which ever team crosses the finish line first wins. GeroniMOE won a couple races last year. The driver even forgot to put the throttle all the way up We wanted to have chariot race at the Duel on the Delaware (our off season comp), but we couldnt fit it into the schedule.
