Re: under 2 sec Mini bot

I expect that if you're using any tetrix parts besides the bare motors, wheels, and battery, you're not building the fastest minibot you could

I wouldn't be surprised to find out that if you are using the Tetrix wheels you are not building the fastest minibot you could.

Re: under 2 sec Mini bot

You're probably right. Sheet aluminum or polycarbonate and latex tubing is looking pretty good.

I wouldn't be surprised to see some of the faster mini-bots using tetrix metal as well. The few pieces I played with were extremely light.

Re: under 2 sec Mini bot

The real race will be deployment.
