No

Step-by-step explanation:

If one full 360 degree rotations moves 75 mm then 50 tire rotations would be 3750 mm which is 375 cm which is 25cm short of being 4 meters. Even though Robbie is 25cm long, the nose of the robot will not get to the end line because the nose was behind the start line and moved 3.75 meters in the drag race leaving the nose 25cm away from the end line.
