Re: Under 1 sec mini bot

That would be tricky, since clipping to the pole requires turning a horizontal force to a vertical force, and you can't leave too early after clipping because the minibot would bounce and slide around.

Our team bounced around an idea about a modified clay-pigeon launcher type thing that slams the robot onto the pole (lightly), but would deploy extremely fast.

We haven't had time, money, or enough of a workforce to build it or the minibot, so if anyone wants to use the idea, feel free.
