On the subject of racing, we should race robots. Teams should start competitions during the summer where we build adittional robots (but not necesarily according to FIRST rules) which are made for speed. It would be like a way of trying out a new transmission concept. Anyway, you can make a robot go about 30 ft/sec pretty easily. And that's pretty fast.

you know you can gear a robot with a 3 speed tranny to go about 70 ft/sec (46mph) or more? It can't weigh 130 lbs though.

Place your attention entirely on my voice and try to ignore all the others. It is important to be able to focus on a single source of information while blocking out all the other things competing for your attention.

... I had a gas-powered RC car once - went 50mph and was insanely hard to control at that speed. Lol. So that's about ... 73.333333 feet a second.

how did you make the hoverbot? what are some specs? I remember i made a hovercraft a while ago, it wasn't fast, but it was like 4 feet in diameter, and could hold my weight.

Well, Tytus, you'd need to make a more specific list of rules/allowed parts for the hovercraft... There's gotta be a standard. Not that I'm going to race anyway.
