I think the GDC should force us to use steam engines, but the electrically-inclined folks on my team might stop whining if they're given more to work with. - Madison [more]

is that uneveness the reason why people at NJ never used the winch?

Lifting the robot off the bar on Friday and Saturday did take quite a while. Atleast it demonstrated how difficult it is to de-hang us. The more you lift the bot the tighter the pneumatic cyclinders grip the bar. If you want to knock GizMOE off the bar, you better bring 5 guys and a stick.
