Go to Post I don't know how you can blame a robot getting stuck in the goal on the GDC. The field drawings showed all of the dimensions of the goals. If a team doesn't want to risk getting stuck then they need to plan around it. - JamesBrown [more]

Cooling system? With it being as open as it is and running at 30+ MPH, I think they should get enough air flow to sufficiently cool everything.

Re: pic: 35 MPH Prototype

Its cool and all..... but when I see a robot: tipping the scales at over 130 lb,with battery and all; using only two CIM motors/side and no liquid nitrogen or any other cooling implement that can turn the motors into superconductors; and still do 35 miles an hour while using 40 amp breakers. WOW that is the day I shave my head.
But aside form that is it shiggidy shweet to say "I have a 35 mph robot!"
