And yes, springs can be much faster, but making them both safe and reliable is probably beyond most teams' capabilities. |

Re: Fastest Possible Canburglar
Just curious - with the minibots, I haven't dug for it, but none of the descriptions I've seen of the minibot tricks involved raising the volume of the minibot faster than its center of gravity. It seems to me that the main part of the minibot could be (for example) half the maximum height, standing on lightweight pass-through stilts that put it at the maximum height. This would put the CoG at about 70% of the minibot height. Then, as the minibot climbs, the stilts are lifted relative to the COG (probably geared right into the same motor) until, at the end, the main part of the minibot is occupying the bottom half of the volume, so the CoG is at 30% of the minibot height. By decreasing the amount of work to be done, you should be able to execute faster.
