my Secret...
The Tires.
Whats so special about the tires,
I used a 56x30R tire http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/32180
and turned it INSIDE OUT, and mounted THAT on a a 43.2 x 28s Tire
http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/6579?img=23740
the result was THEE stickiest all lego tire EVER!

Aren’t the stickiness that made your motor stall, or was it the RC motor turning
itself off?
So here are my pics:

Highlights:
Chris keep getting distracted by
food and
talking,
and forgot to test his robot properly.
Calum is a Mac guy now.
I bought two bots, entered the one that has highest traction.
My match
against
Dave. My
bot’s traction was losing against his string pulling power, at 3 inches per
minute.
My match
against Chris. My bot keep rolling the wheel and keep pulling itself toward
the table
edge, but did not fall off within 3 minutes. Chris was quite
disappointed.
My match
against Calum. Calum was winning at the beginning, but my bot was able gain
traction advantage over his static wheels and
won.
My match
against John G. Both bots catch the rope at the beginning and just pull by the
wheels. His wheels have smaller surface contact area but spin a lot faster and
was winning against my big and slow wheels. However the fast wheels was also
generating some vibration and his bot kind of
shook
itself off the table within the 3 minutes game time. This was the only game John
lost.
My match against
Rob’s bot
was also interesting. He was winning at the beginning but my bot manage to pull
back at about an inch per minute. It was called a draw at the end of 3 minutes.
Best shot
of the day

| Well, After running the full game (156 ish games), all 13 contestants, I would have to say R21 was a HUGE success. I want to thank Dave, Derek, for some FANTASTIC personal WIN's over there bots. I want to Shout out to Glen, a NEW GUY who showed up (...) (18 years ago, 31-Jul-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
