That made me imagine getting sand in our robot.

Re: Don't Try This At Home Kids
Reminds me of a demo we did at a local elementary school's GOLD day (I forget the acronym but remember the uselessness of the D standing for day and then they add day to the end ) basically a field day.

We ended up driving our robot about 200 yards through a tall-grass and standing water muddy field, before maybe a quarter mile of cheap asphalt road. The robot was built with a high COG because we planned to have a belly climber that never came to, so it kind of drove on stilts, keeping the important bits out of the muck. Fully enclosed VexPro ballshifters FTW that day

Re: Don't Try This At Home Kids
If the GDC made a game that consisted of driving in a straight line, it would probably be the hardest game in FRC history.

It's called "Autonomous."

Re: Don't Try This At Home Kids
I have to admit, the track coach in me was more concerned for the track surface than the robots. But that fine sand can be a real pain to get out of stuff.

Off season events can be a bit of fun... The swerves were fine amazingly. I was more worried about the jags...

I believe our first race was to see how far we could get without loosing Comms. From my memory, 2056 won the first race.

We had a second race afterwards where we raced the robots around the 400 metre track, with the drivers/driverstation running behind the robots. 1310 won that race (with sand in their robot).
