who won? just from the few matches I saw RUSH was pretty fast.

Better question: did it happen?

[Kyle Love]

More then likely it did. 1646 was asked to attend but we did not attend the party so we were unable to attend.

More importantly, Dean Kamen won the "fan favorite" award, which was given to the crowds' favorite robot. If i remember correctly, Dean's time was 11.12 seconds.

There were many people recording the races, so I'm sure someone will share some video eventually.

Actually Dean was offered but declined the use of a Segway.

1024 was also asked to be there, but also had to decline due to our flight's departure time.

Pretty Pleeeease Andy can you consider doing it at IRI?

I second that! We were invited but logistics got in the way.

Do the math:

IRI egos (they reportedly come to play there) + drag racing =

[its da PAT!!!]

its would be cool but 102 gets to keep it for the year until next time at champ.

I'm quite suprised that I hadn't heard about this, at 19ft/s I would think that our robot would have been invited. What was the speed of the winner?

[Freddy Schurr]

I can not believe a video is not up yet! Especially with Dean running! WHAT!

102 is geared for 27 fps, but also has enough torque to have their very light bot accelerate very quickly on that pavement.

Thirded! As Kyle Love said, we were invited to attend but could not as none of the Purdue FIRST teams were attending the after party event.

This would be a fun thing to do at IRI after matches on Friday or something.
