Engineer on team #267, The Demolition Squad, from North Broward & St Andrews and Motorola.
Here are two videos of Team 267 taken the Monday night after KSC. For those of you that saw the KSC video we were kind of slow and had problems going over the ramp. We have regeared and locked the transmissions in one gear (they were slipping out of gear under load - never did it in 2 weeks of practice - drove us crazy!) so that issue is DEAD. We now have an extremely reliable drivetrain. In the videos you will see what we can do with a little cooperation (both goals on, in the endzone in 38 sec.) and what we can do by ourselves ( both goals on, in the endzone in 57 sec.). Note: We are planning changes at EPCOT that should take 10 - 15 sec off that 57 sec. number. We are also much more focused on strategy and timing that we were at KSC!
