Coach on team #419, Rambots, from UMass Boston / BC High and NONE AT THE MOMENT! .



we were bored so we gave the motors a sprocket ratio of 1:4 to the wheels, running the drills at high gear. Given that, we also gave it some wings....

so we took it outside and gave it a small boost to get over its starting torque requirement but as soon as it gained enough speed, it flew off the ground and we have never seen it since....

anyone else have any problems like this?
