 You can have any color robot you like, so long as it stays that color. So you shouldn't have to worry unless you have a chameleon bot. - Kevin Sevcik [more] |

Re: pic: Pneumatic
How fast did it go: Well, I don't have a number for you (sorry) but: pretty darn fast, at least relative to the other vehicles it competed against. It could cover the 3 feet to the end of the table in under a second.
As for variable speed...yes and no. We basically used the main air valve for control (turn one way, go faster, turn the other slow down. Primitive yes, but it works.) And, in theory it was reversible. Since I ran out of time to work on it, I couldn't finish my solenoid control box. I was planning on running a tether line to each of the four motor inputs (you can see the two un-used tubes in the picture) and then using the solenoids to reverse the flow to either motor, in order to turn or reverse. I prototyped the concept, but simply didn't build the control unit...
