Go to Post A well-working FIRST robot can be charismatic. People are attracted to it. Teams rally behind it. Little kids stare with wide eyes. Relatives say to their friends "look at what my niece helped invent". This is an awesome thing. - Andy Baker [more]

for such a light test bot we don't really need to much power. Its only about 25lbs. So we'd be wasting a good cim if we had 4.
The only purpose of this bot is to get drivers practice and prove a theory that one of our mentors had.
