Go to Post I once started to build a time machine. But then I went back in time and told myself that it wouldn't work, so I gave up on it. -dave - dlavery [more]

How fast can it shoot? Did you have to develop any fancy control algorithms?

I still can't believe this is going to be in competition...

EDIT: I am still noticing the glaring absence of any IFI control system components; maybe this is your "show and tell" robot (not competition legal)?

If it's falling apart it's a mechanical problem. If it's spewing smoke it's a electrical problem.
If it's rampaging around destroying things it's a programming problem.

"All technology is run on 'Magic Smoke' contained within the device. As everyone knows, whenever the magic smoke is released, the device ceases to function."
