I gotta see the two Chiaphuas hooked up to one wheel. Very cool.

See you in Houston.

Nope... They're pure speed from the moment they move.

You gotta see it to believe it, 16 is definately THE fastest robot at MR... pretty much twice as fast as the fastest bot there.

It's pretty interesting how they did that... used 4 motors but differently. I suppose it works really great looking at it...


Beatty isn't really that great, they had major problems even making it up the ramp. I suppose that will be solved by nationals with higher traction wheels. Their arm can get the stack, but it's a telescoping PVC arm. Any bot like 16 can easily overpower it and tip ther robot, it's just a matter of getting there before they do. It also tends not to fully telescope outward, so they usually get anywhere from 1/4 to 3/4 of the wall.
