1519 - Video of 10 Laps in 60 Seconds...

[Ken Streeter]

A few days ago, the student lead of our "Speed Racer / Mach 6" effort posted a pic of our prototype speed racer along with some robot statistics that generated a call for video. (Particularly of interest was the mention of 20fps and 6-second laps.) So, yesterday we invested some extra time in not only videotaping the robot, but also in taking an "in-car-cam" view, too.

The video is now available on the team's webpage at http://www.mechanicalmayhem.org or http://www.team1519.org

Enjoy!

PS: Oh, and yes we know we're not yet done! Still need to add bumpers, a flag pole, and a lid to prevent getting squashed by trackballs or other robots.

PPS: We also realize that there's no way we'll be doing six second laps on a field full of robots!
