Ooh, this really isn't MIAP's event. We're not exactly fast, but try to get through stuff as quickly as possible. Don't spin up. Take it slower over the two cambered curves to avoid falling off, but go faster for the other parts. Gun it for the ramps, and hope our traction is enough to make it up them enough to tip them.
Best of luck to everyone else!

Careful, as this is an extremely fast robot. Very careful on all the banked turns, and the bridge.

Pro tip: you can, in fact, link directly to posts by clicking on their titles and taking the URL from that. It doesn't give a one-post-on-a-page thing like Zetaboards did, but it'll scroll down in the thread to the post for you.
The Gourmet's got reasonably good ground clearance, which is to my advantage, but my scoop is going to be completely useless. I'll be keeping it raised up and out of the way for the entirety of my run. My high speed and solid traction should keep me going fast and staying controlled and on the track, but I'll still need to drive carefully and make sure not to make any foolish mistakes. If I feel like I have enough control to do so, I'll be going full speed on the straightaways but obviously slowing down for the turns and obstacles.
GL everyone!
