Would you believe that without another robot on the playing field, scores greater than 250 can be achieved?

I'm scared...and very very jealous. Do we get any explanation as to it's abilities or is this just a tease??? Once again, another quality robot. I can't wait to see it in action at the Midwest Regional.

OK Bill,

So you are saying that you wait for one goal to fill up with small balls, pull it across the bridge, put a big ball on both goals, then push them both on the bridge and balance it while you stay on the ground and then go to the endzone in less than 105 seconds. Unless of course, you also push an empty stretcher across and then you need only one big ball. I would guess the extra big ball would be easier. Or in less than 90 seconds with only one big ball and no stretcher.

Very impressive! Can't wait to see it in action.

Raul

Raul is right on again. We had a number of runs of 200 or higher. Best scenario is 12 from human, one big ball, both goals balanced, and in the end zone under 90 seconds which yields 256. Unfortunately, we can't do it under 90 seconds 100% of the time.

Wildstang has done it again with a super concept way, way outside the box. We will very probably get an opportunity to run together at a regional. Looking forward to it.
