Go to Post We had an over all losing record this year. When I look at kid's faces, they don't give a rip about that. I see excitement about the next event and talking about improvements for next year. Winning is nice, but that is not the reason I do what I do. - wilsonmw04 [more]

You may also find that while this design will exhibit omni-directional drive ability, that it may also exhibit very little directional stability... the ability to track in a straight line.

It is a cool looking design, but I wouldn't expect it to go fast, or in a particularly straight line. Perhaps if the tetrahedrons were replaced with streamlined "rudders" that each rotated as the pilot did....
