We get to the goal pretty fast. Not sure of the exact time, but it's way down there.

Hmm... our orange d00d does about 12, 14fps... distance to the goal is about 18'4".... over x... cross-multiply... carry the one... factor in wind-resistance.... carpet friction.... calculate drag co-efficients... We can make it in a little under 2 seconds on wheels if we go in a straight line. Then we switch to treads, the robot bounces up, and the power comes in

For a nice pic of our drive system, go here, here (while having some work done on the treads), or here (to see how the robot looks put together, except for the side panels)
