A few days ago, the student lead of our "Speed Racer / Mach 6" effort posted a
pic of our prototype speed racer along with some robot statistics that generated a call for video. (Particularly of interest was the mention of 20fps and 6-second laps.) So, yesterday we invested some extra time in not only videotaping the robot, but also in taking an "in-car-cam" view, too.
The video is now available on the team's webpage at
http://www.mechanicalmayhem.org or
http://www.team1519.org

Enjoy!
PS: Oh, and yes we know we're not yet done! Still need to add bumpers, a flag pole, and a lid to prevent getting squashed by trackballs or other robots.
PPS: We also realize that there's no way we'll be doing six second laps on a field full of robots!
