Go to Post I got something totally different from my FIRST experience. to me the spirit of FIRST is all about sharing. during the 6 week build period, you share yourself with the other people on your team. at the competition, you share your creation with everyone who watches your 'bot play the game. - George1902 [more]

Based on your caption, I think your problem has little to do with the globe motor and a whole lot to do with gravity and some serious inertia.

yeah, it was probably more gravity than anything, but we had a massive garage door spring on there that kept it neutral. I think it was inertia.

Still, thats pretty wicked awesome. I was going to take it and make a necklace out of it, but a friend of mine won a game of rock-paper-scissors for it. Curse his eyes!
