Well we worked it all out tonight. The robot starts tall and falls over while accelerating, and gets to the far wall .2 seconds faster than when it starts flat on the floor. We are really a little amazed by it. Low, low, low center of gravity, love that. The driver just bumps it backwards so slightly you can hardly see it, then floors it forward.

I was pretty sure many teams would try it, but it proved a hard sell in my team, but I cry and spin in circles on the floor until I get my way, or at least they agree to try it once...

Of course I never grew up. Why do you think I'm on a FIRST team?
