: I dunno...they way people are talking, I'm guessing the mere act of falling over would create a decided disadvantage, timewise. It's a cool concept, but time is of the essence, so it seems.
I was thinking that the drive wheels would be touching the ground from the start and that right off the whistle the drivers would put the motors at full throttle which would cause the machine to tip over while accelerating. There might be a problem with hitting the edge of the field, but I doubt it. I really wanna see this happen though.
BTW, has anyone changed the orientation of their robot in previous years so that their footprint wasn't 30in. x 36in.? I don't think there has been a great motive to do so till now.
