Watch match #49 at VCU on soap.circuitrunners.com. The clip starts with us already halfway to the rack.

We call it "jumping to hyperspace".
you have possibly the fastest robot i have ever seen!

another neat idea! i've seen this work: your oponent is about to score, instead of ramming them, ram the rack... then go pick up a tube while they wait for it to stop shaking... or go take their tube from them...
