Looking forward to great things from you guys again this year, your robots last year were amazing. Hopefully we will give you a better run for your money this year in Mississauga and Waterloo?
oh and do I smell a holonomic drive system with those DeWalt transmissions?

Looks like evidence of SWERVE to me. Sprockets to turn the wheels, bearing surfaces, and mounts. 4 NBD transmissions to drive the wheels and 2 NBDs to rotate them.
Or maybe I'm just losing it and see evidence of SWERVE in every part teaser at this point.

Are those orange objects at the top of the frame - dare I say it - TAPE MEASURES?!
OH NO! It's 2002 all over again
Oh wait, there it is...
<G09> "... If any part of the ROBOT is touching the carpet, the ROBOT is not considered on the platform."
Phew! Close one!
Say.... what if you blocked your opponent's platform and used a tape measure / tether to make sure your robot couldn't be counted as "on the platform"?

Oh well. Shot down, it seems. It was just a thought that came to me as I was chuckling to myself about the 2002 tether debacle.
On a related note, is it still legal to pin an opponent on your platform for the entire match?

Re: pic: NiagaraFIRST Teaser
More amazing than the sheer quantity of robot parts is the number of tape measures visible and ready for use.
It would take a good hour long search party to find half that amount hidden around our lab.

I usually have to beat people away with tetras to get my hands on a tape measure in our shop. It's soooo unorganized, and we only have four that your never quite sure what they're under.
