Go to Post Now, everyone knows that Oompaloompas are like bunnies in that they have an insatiable desire to multiply, and the same can be said with Michigan teams (with all due respect) which are currently multiplying and filling that hand-shaped democratic kingdom with their honorable number. - Eugenia Gabrielov [more]

Wetzel,

I think there is more to it than just CG, it something to do with their design - still no reason to use the PVC...

Do you know for a fact that Beatty can get on the platform? I believe that if Beatty does hang, it could possibly be from the carpet. If they hung from the carpet, they could then herd, hence their low rider robot.

Weight is less too by headed inward at the angle rahter then the two other sides of the triangle.

They were on the platform in the yearbook picture. Because they didn't think anyone would see it, there is no reason to think they are playing any mindgames with us.

I suspect they have a way up, either by raising and lowering their drive wheels like 225 does, or cams like 16 (which where REALLY cool), or something else, they can get up there.
