Climate Connections - how to get 400 Points (well, almost)

How to get 400 points on the FLL Climate Connections robot performance challenge table. We show you how we can get 400 points in 2:50... or 360 in the more normal 2:30.

The new Lego Guards team (almost all rookies) got the second place robot performance award at the NorCal Championship Tournament.

How do you get that Village People (XD) to the city?

We had only about 150 points, but we used RCX and only system forward-backward :D

In the video, at 2:59, you can see an overhead picture of the front of the bot. There's a string attached to a weight that stays at base, then a little basket that carries the people... the robot goes forward, the string stops the basket from continuing... we won an award for "craziest attachment" with that one!
