Yeah we did that, It was actually $1 for about three minutes. It was mostly little kids (4-9) that came up to drive it but a few adults as well. We need to come up with a kill switch though for next year, or enclose the area around the "robot test drive" area. We had a few people who were hit mostly by accident and the people who were bumped into were good about the situation but there are always the rowdy ones, more than likely the older kids (13-15) who were driving who drove into people for kicks.

Darn Punks!!!! Oh and if you have other compttions you are gong to later in the year, make sure you have time to fixe something if it goes wrong. I, yes I said "I", broke one of our drill motor transmissions during one of these test drives. I'm not allowed to drive the robot anymore!! LOL
Also one of the advisors for the team has basically a candy shop in his closet at school. We sell it all!!!
