: Anton. fear not, I saw your bot heading over connecticut this morning. It was leading a flock of geesse north towards canada.
: Is this where your regional is?. Your bot may have a problem crossing the borders if it does not have its passport with it.
: If it starts to head south then you probably will find it in Florida assuming it follows the coast.
: If I see it do you want team 237 to shoot it down and send the bits back to you.......

: : 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?
: : -Dumbledore
to fly a robot around the world... i wonder if the drills will make the flight.
