What I heard from my spies in IL...

The word on Beatty is that they get the first goal in 4-5 seconds and have the second and third goals within a second of getting the first.

After that they move into a crawler mode that moves them about 10 feet per minute but is basically impossible to move them or keep them from moving (at least up to Friday night).

Spies also report that they are using file brushes (the brushes used to clean the gunk out of files when they are jammed -- available from Small Parts Inc.) as the pads that contact the carpet in crawler mode.

Good luck to us all...
