Re: The Most Spectacular Falls of 2010
There was a robot at Traverse City that used a lift system to raise itself about 30 inches, after which its arm could reach the top bar -- IF the robot had not already toppled by then! Some of that robot's falls were spectacular, especially when it started from the top of the bump. I can't recall the team number right now, but I think it was 2245 or 2246.
If someone has pictures they would be well worth posting.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
