Super Speed of Light Bot
Gearing Up
We geared up twice to get the speed that we wanted. There was an unfortunate trade off though. We were forced to trade power for speed.
Jump Bot
James and I attempted to create a robot that would go as fast as possible and jump a ramp. We were not successful. After many different designs, gear systems, weight reductions, and program alterings, our bot was never able to jump the ramp. The faster we made the bot the less power it would have, so it wasnt able to make it up the ramp. Then if we put more power into the bot it would reduce the speed. This would result in the bot getting to the top of the ramp but not having enough speed to actually jump, it would just fall off the edge.
