IT and chariot races

I tethered up IT during finals, actually, and tied a rope around him to act as a dolly. Then I took off and idled around a bit... I was eventually challenged by a team (I think 127, but I'm not sure... a low 100 team) that had been waiting for a competitor. We raced, IT lost... darn gearswitching teams I teased them, though, because IT's motors don't overheat easily in the Florida weather.

Unfortunately, the circuit breakers do. Traveling at a nice 8 fps and coming to a 1 second stop is not something you want to do while riding behind in a dolly attached by a rope. After peeling myself off of our back panel for the first time, I decided it was time to go in.

So yeah... we had chariot races, but I served my time by having to pick the astroturf out of IT's wheels
