Also liked the use of kitbot frame rails for the electronics package frame and using spikes... did you use victors for your servos?

The lighting conditions were difficult. Yes we used victors, and an Edubot/VEX controller. If they work in a FIRST competition.....why not DARPA? Many of the controls were salvaged from a handicapped vehicle that was used by one of our mentors, this is a very low budget entry.

does anyone have video of that cool 6 wheel tank with the awesome suspension???
I'd really like to see that one again, and maybe not in slow-mo this time
