Re: FASTEST 2008 ROBOT
This is a bit off topic, since it concerns '07, but can someone tell me if the Behind The Design chapter on the robonauts is telling the truth?
It says that they managed to achieve 16 meters per second (52.5 feet per second) as a top speed with their V6 and crab drive. That translates to 35.7 mph, which is waaay too high for me to believe. I think they actually were only able to go 16 feet per second. Is that right?

On topic, 2560, you guys have an amazingly fast robot. Every video I saw you guys in, the announcer was always commenting on you. Definitely in the top 5 speeds this year.
I would also like to know 1024's speed, I know the perspective makes them seem faster just like 330 and 1114, but their robot seemed to keep pace with a lot of dedicated lapbots.
