Minibot times

[lastrideelhs]

1.4 at the moment. but we know that our wheels are slipping. will be trying new material after ship

[avanboekel]

3.5 is our best time so far. Our wheels have been slipping when we were testing during the past week though.

2.5 is our best, no gearboxes have been taken off...yet.

I can't press my IPhone fast enough!

Team 1098 complete minibot seems to be running a consistant 2.5 sec. I am happy because it is reliable.

We're about 2.5 seconds too.

For the life of me I can't figure out how people are getting sub-two second times. Good for them!

(In my defense, I haven't been heavily involved in minibot development...)

Custom wheels, (PVC) with direct drive and magnets.

We took the mean of 20 runs- Came up with 3.25 seconds. This is for the whole thing deployment and climb. We are very pleased. I am going to publish 4 seconds on our competition distribution sheet however because I know how the students get those itchy fingers and "trigger" the stop watches a little early for sure.

Direct drive as in no gearing whatsoever besides the wheels???
