Go to Post Instead of prototyping with plywood and machining metal for the final version, they make their prototypes out of sheet metal and machine the final robot out of wood. :) - Chris is me [more]

Wow that seems fast. Have you ever had a robot that went 15fps?
No fastest I've ever driven a robot is like 12 or 13 fps. I know its theoretically possible and it would only be driven at 15fps high speed for short bursts in strait lines. The turns would probably be taken at the 7 Fps low speed or lower.
