just to clear this up a bit... how fast can you achieve in a match, not theoretically how fast can you get to the goals... but i've watched quite a few matches, maybe i missed all you guys (or a couple of ya)... if someone was incredibly fast at the regionals i attended...(i have watched some web cast videos too)
Go to this stream from the NYC regional, seek to about 52:15 (Quarterfinal 3, Match 3). We're the bright orange crashers/blocker. It kinda cuts off of us at the begining, so you don't see EXACTLY how fast we go, but you get the idea. We play around with GRR for a bit (mainly block them from getting out of their homezone). Then it looks like we're suddenly about to lose. If you watch it to the very end, you can see how we're both a speed and power bot. In the last 30, 20 seconds, we go onto treads, push a robot with a goal from their scoring position into ours, go back onto wheels, and make it home with a few seconds to sit around and watch the action. This was one of our more fun rounds =D
