That was our first robot, from 2002. I don't know if it was quite that fast, cause we had major friction problems. If we had overcome those completely, it would've been much faster.

I do know that at NYC, I "grabbed" a goal. The bot was across the field, and I had to get back, about ten seconds left. I also happened to be lined up with a goal, for the other team, that was empty. So, I go into full reverse, and slam into the goal and drive the goal into the player station.

After that match, we're inspecting our robot. I made a huge dent in the extruded aluminum, like, completely bent it out of shape. Several other teams saw it, and rumor spread that we grabbed goals by deforming our robot. Can't say it happened again.

That was also the regional that we snapped a piece of lexan off our robot, again, hitting a goal. To all the teams that say lexan can't shatter/crack/break, believe me, it can (I remember Team 19 didn't believe us).
