: There is a difference between calculating how many it could do and how many it really would do

: wouldn't she (your robot) get dizzy? i would put money on that you couldn't get 120 (2 rp second) rpm

Well, ok, i certainly couldn't do it...no...

But the robot didn't seem to mind it at all, in fact, we did that spinning the motors in reverse, so even if the calculations were a bit off, it should compensate. Besides, for the 15 minutes before and after, we were jumping her off the mock bar we set up, doing reverse, sideways, and forward spins, figure 8's, t-stops, burnouts, peelouts, and a whole lot of other wicked manuvers...it was a sight to behold...
Unfortunatly however, we did this on brown tile, and the tile doesn't look so hot with thousands of grey streaks all over it in variuos loop paterns.
