The problem Ken with the mini bot coming off may be solved if the extra magnet we are going to install at the front wheels does not work by having the metal strip go narrow sooner. If we make it narrower sooner (before the arc) the mini bot will be closer to the metal during the arc therefore the magnets will hold it better because it will be on the smaller diameter part of the roll. We saw tonight how a thin washer made a difference behind the magnet. It will also not bounce during the arc when it goes from the larger diameter to the smaller. The bounce will happen on the horizontal section where gravity and the magnets are doing their job to hold it on the metal strip. I think the bounce is a major problem as it goes from the high gear ratio to low.
