Re: Testing our Robot (pics)
Speed is the name of the game this year, we are aiming to lift the trackball rather quickly to either place or hurdle, and also the drive train has been designed purely based upon our center of gravity to give us the most beneficial traction while accelerating forwards, and 'lack' of traction while turning to give us a great turning radius while whipping around those corners. Once the fine tuning has been accomplished, as Sunshine had mentioned we might not be the best at a specific area of the game as other robots may be specialized in, however we will be able to accomplish all tasks within a rather quick manner.
Very proud of my team this year.
