It's hard to control when it starts bouncing around on the pavement. There's only one caster on the front and it fell off after a while. Acceleration is pretty good in first gear, but when I put it into second it takes a while to get the rpm's up.
We like to use that big pneumatics tank on prototypes because it lasts so long. It was just sitting around in the shop, so I wouldn't be suprised if it was from 2000.

I saw a big opening in the bees section and asked if we could sit for this match and was told we were welcome to sit there. Your team made space for about 15 of my team members that came with me. - Debbie [more]
