Actually Dean was offered but declined the use of a Segway.

1024 was also asked to be there, but also had to decline due to our flight's departure time.

Pretty Pleeeease Andy can you consider doing it at IRI?

I second that! We were invited but logistics got in the way.

Do the math:

IRI egos (they reportedly come to play there) + drag racing =

[its da PAT!!!]

its would be cool but 102 gets to keep it for the year until next time at champ.

I'm quite suprised that I hadn't heard about this, at 19ft/s I would think that our robot would have been invited. What was the speed of the winner?

I can not believe a video is not up yet! Especially with Dean running! WHAT!

102 is geared for 27 fps, but also has enough torque to have their very light bot accelerate very quickly on that pavement.

Is this the start of the race? Does wearing boots make Dean into a robot?

There were many people recording the races, so I'm sure someone will share some video eventually.

I'm a little confused.

Team 102- 4.43 seconds.
Dean- 11.12 seconds.

Then why in the video do they look about 1 second apart?

seems like dean is starting to have a bit more fun now. Between joking around in speeches, being on Colbert numerous times, and this, it's showing more of a fun side of him.
