Re: Our robot is done!

Good question, haha, I'll get back to you. From preliminary tests with actuators it seems like it will go up rather fast, and we actually may have to run down the pressure from max on these things. We're now using, after more testing today, 2 2 inch bore 12 inch stroke actuators, and we plan to tweak with the psi to get them to run at a reasonable speed. I don't see speed being an issue though, and we're shooting for, I don't want to sound unrealistic as I suppose I don't really know exactly, but maybe around ~6 seconds? Five? I'll let you know as the weeks progress.
