Re: FASTEST 2008 ROBOT
Some operational figure-of-merit for lap-running performance, other than gearing and wheel size, would be more interesting. Maybe average number of laps completed during teleo? Or maybe highest qualifying seed?
148 seeded #1 at St. Louis, and Tumbleweed certainly looked faster than most of the robots there. Maybe 1098's little red Ferrari was faster (?); they seeded #2 at Oklahoma City.
Which other racerbots seeded high?

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
