 Earlier this week it took me a little bit too long to realize that the reason my pen wasn't writing correctly was that it was actually a screwdriver. I'm going to have to ask for a few nights of honest sleep before signing off on a report. - EricVanWyk [more] |

Nice! You guys certainly aren't going to tip!
To hurdle do you just drop it, or do you give it a little bit of a fling? |

It's designed to function as a catapult (we have >1hp of motors powering the arm), but it can also do a more sedate hurdle. And yes, we definitely won't be tipping. One of our teachers spent much of the build season worrying about CoG; she was very surprised when we demonstrated to her that we can tip the robot to about 30degrees above the horizontal and it will still land on its wheels. That test was done without 2CIMs and a Toughbox that are mounted low in the chassis, too.
