Is there an upcoming Lunacy off-season competition?


the stage has a wooden frame with carpet on top.
And not that I know of, I was just saying...


Eric: the reason I did not mention bringing regolith is we ony have 2 sheets, since we will be letting other people drive the robot it would be nearly pointless(imho) to try and tell a person who has never driven the robot before to try and stay on them. we dont have any tread laying around either.

I'll test the robot on some carpet on Thursday, and if we have a problem, I'll probably go with the duct-tape...
we were just assuming there would be a problem.
