Re: Ribbit Rivet...
Alright, time for a bit of hard data from us:
Perfection.
We ran eight rounds at Chesapeake, ignoring practice. For the most part, these were pure lapping, but we made our fair share of hard hits along the way. (The zip ties on the lane divider feared us, and we had our fun with low gear as well in a few matches, perhaps most notably the Great Pileup of Q56.) Through it all, the riveter stayed in the bottom of our tool cart.
Granted, all of this was with bumpers on our front and sides; we left them out of the corners and the back for various reasons. It would be nice to give this robot a few more events before declaring it a total success, but I'm quite satisfied right now.
