On a full battery, the robot was able run 6 1/2 laps in one minute. So, if the field is empty, we could realistically get close to 12 or 13 laps in a single match. However, after seeing some of the scrimmages this year, we most likely will have that number cut down by about half.
The bot drives incredibly well, though, and our control system is very simple and intuitive. Instead of using dual joysticks, we decided to modify a pistol-grip RC Car controller. So, even though it doesn't use an Ackerman steering system, it acts like it does!
I look forward to seeing all of the other AZ teams this year. It ought to be a lot of fun working with everybody else there!
