Re: FASTEST 2008 ROBOT
1098 never measured flat out speed but in a classroom we did 21fps. 1098 has gotten 6 lines in autonomous and often got 10 laps in tele with a full field. We have gotten the sensors working correctly and can do more in atonomous but it depends on traffic. The speed is a tough one, our bot is light and narrow but in Overdrive traffic to avoid a robot changing direction sometimes our driver would swerve and end up hitting another robot. It was a very tough and delicate balance between going fast and not hitting other players. I had refs comment that they saw the wheels running full speed in reverse and knew the driver was trying but we still hit a robot and we needed to be more careful.

1098 had a great season!

Thank you to everyone involved in FIRST!

Andy
