On the Overdrive field, 102 was able to get good speed in the straightaways, but they were slower at accelerating compared to a few other robots.

* - as compared to the robots Newton Field at Championships, Hawaii, OKC, MI rookie event, St. Louis, and Boilermaker Regionals
yea we were in a match with 102 in Newton. we almost beat a team of three with only our two robots on the field..
