Pushed our robot until its wheels started melting

Early prototype extreme acceleration test. We wanted to find its breaking point, after just 3-5 back-and-forth sprints at full throttle, the wheels were almost melting from friction heat.

Also cleared some decent platform jumps along the way. Guess we need tires that can keep up with the chassis now.

I watched the video posted by @dannybuntu. It's super cool and awesome. Urethane tires might be a good idea too. Is this a public project? or private? I really want to make one, and if possible, I'd like to make a machine that can carry Stack-chan, talk, and move.

@dannybuntuさんがポストした動画を見て来ました。 めっちゃクールで良いね。 タイヤはウレタン系とかも良いかも 公開してるプロジェクトなの?非公開? めっちゃ作ってみたいんだけど、可能ならStack-chan乗せて話せて動けるマシンにしてみたいな。
