Accuracy at key range will be more important than being able to chuck a ball 30+ feet, IMO.

They were using home-built speed controllers with a knob control -- I'm not sure what the duty cycle voltage was. (I wasn't there... had a funeral this weekend, so Saturday was the first FRC day ever without me there. Quite weird, I must admit!)
I'm not worried about the amount of Segways at a regoinal, I'd rather see them out in the real world than at a robotics competition. - Joe Matt [more]
