Now factor in the fact that there will be up to 5 other robots and 3 other trackballs on the field; and those balls will be rolling, bouncing etc. 10 Hurdles just seems to high for any one team...maybe an entire alliance.

That being said, I am in no way saying that the Robonauts have built a sub-par robot. On the contrary, it is one of the best fastest hurdlers I have seen so far along with 121's bot. So... Congrats to the Robonauts on having their robot done so early, and having built an absolutely amazing one. I for one am very impressed.
