Re: MiniBot - Can I use a spring?

Meaning, X amount of force will hopefully be provided by the spring....every single time. Also if that plate shatters, your team is going to get some harsh criticism for making a very unsafe robot.

Be sure to check out an official FIRST Week 0 competition on Feb. the 19th in Nashua, NH. There will a 2011 official field, scoring system (that was made by FIRST), the Game design committee and special guests! Contact paradisem1@gmail.com for more info
Sounds interesting. Can you see if someone (whether FIRST or a team) can provide a web stream of this event? I'm sure many other teams would benefit from being able to watch the game in action.
