This year we decided to mentor a rookie team here in Jacksonville. They brought their robot to 'play' on our practice field. It was the squirreliest thing ever. It was about about 1.5' tall and had front wheel drive (the back wheels were just casters....) needless to say, it couldn't go in a straight line and whenever it went over the bridge it did a 360 spin that looked absolutely... strange. My fellow driver from our team (resistance) gave the driving a go and managed to flip it over... and the coach was like.. oh crap.. but she flipped it over just before he got out there to do it himself. I thought it was cool in that... thank god it's not my robot way.
As for ours.. well.. we've had it tip quite a few times. More than a few of them were my fault as co-driver..but.. shh!!
