Re: Tips for Robots in Parades
You can get away with using Rover Wheels on a parade robot just fine. That's what team 237 did. If you can I'd use the 2008 KoP over them, but if you can't not all is lost. Duct taping them doesn't sound like a bad idea just so you don't have to clean them at all.
You should need 2 or 3 batteries depending on how long the parade route is. See if you can take a quick glance over your robot while you do that, look for missing screws, loose plates, etc. while changing the battery.

Being consistently enthusiastic with a consistent message is not easy to do without sounding like a cult. We could use a reasonably large collection of things to say that restate the mission and vision of FIRST but don't appear to be stock phrases. - Alan Anderson [more]
