I wouldn't be surprised if in competition it behaves like The Revenant (old Carnegie Melon 120 shell spinner), which is to say: like an angry air hockey puck on speed. It was one scary robot.

Spoiler:

Which means if this one's up and running Miami is bound for some excellent video footage shortly.

why do you always add those spoiler things?

Because once the thread has a decent length, there will be less scrolling to do.

Doesn't look like it will be spinning or winning anytime soon

There are always 15 posts per page, ignoring post size. This means a page can either be ridiculously short (single line responses), or outrageously long (several full-sized images & youtube videos per post).

does that mean the design has been scrapped/shelved?

or is it just behind schedule?

it would be really cool to see such a large melty in action...

no funding to complete the 120 or the 15 melty either

sorry to hear that, did you already pay to have them entered in the BBIQ competition?

I have nothing to do with that, so I don't know

you could always run the 12 as a 15, we all know it hits like a train

Might do a demo at the Youth fair in 3 weeks...if it runs???
