Day 9: OKAY LETS GET SERIOUS

or "serious like mecha-exoskeletons for the masses"

Or as serious as you can only get about a robot called 'MYSTICAL UNICORN'
(I am expert at naming things mystical unicorn,
our Jeopardy team for CS review was also Mystical Unicorn)

because, as i have said, Mystical Unicorn is a SPEED DEMON,
coming in 3rd in the first trial for the torque challenge with a time of 8.5 seconds.

HIGH TENSION!!

 The gear train has a ratio of 1:15 using a 24, a 40 and two 8 tooth gears, same as we left her on Friday-

oh, this picture again.

BUT THAT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH
because Lucia and I have been nursing a bit of healthy competition and she beat us with a time of 8.4
(SO CLOSE)

and also because she accelerates a lot, meaning that she doesn't have quite enough torque
(but mostly in the spirit of competition!)

based on the times for other ratios we are looking to get a ratio higher than our current one but less than 1:25,

so we are aiming for an 18 or 20
