Dear Dr. Joe, are you willing to divulge No. 47's gear ratio this year.
We are targeting latching onto both goals, and driving onto the bridge. We estimate weight to be around 290 lbs max. We've chosen 3:1 out of 2 drill motors and four wheel drive.
Since we all gain this year, in a sence, from performing well, maybe some deeper sharing won't hurt. It's sort of in the spirit of open computer systems and the Internet. I think it's ingenious and cool the way First is changing the game into more of a shared competition.
I believe the winners are all the contestants in USFIRST, not just the finalists.
I am anxious to hear tidbits of what you and other teams are really doing this year. Thanks for the sharing you've already done, such as the White Papers.
May the Force be With You.
