Here's some videos of our gorgeous minibot.

Official times are TBA, but it's estimated about 4 to 5 seconds.


A little information: you might notice that the Minibot has a claw that wraps around the pole. Before deployment, the claw will be open, and then once deployed, it presses against the pole and closes, wrapping around it. It's slow now because we only have 1 motor, but we plan on adding a second one before heading out to Buckeye, hopefully speeding it up. We have a second exact replica of this Minibot, and plan to bring it to Buckeye where we can share it with our alliance partners. Coopertition ftw!
