Re: Robot Speeds

I'm going to have to clarify that speed. 13 fps (...calculated, more like 10-11), but that was only parrallel to the wheels. If we drove 45 degrees across our wheels (straight) we would go about 7-8fps.... and then we put our arm on and got scared of going that fast.

Oh and the expanding module thing...hmmm i think i have an inventor pic somewhere.

found it... an old one though.

also, not in this pic is the driving mechanism for this expansion. you can see it here: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...highlight=1002

There was a piston involved also, but we don't like to talk about it.
