Best name this year so far

I wanted X-Man (in honor of Xavier McDaniel) but the Mech team kids pushed hard for the name and since they couldn't get X-Cats in Creed passed for the theme (X.X. I. Am (http://kokoed.deviantart.com/#/d4mwljl) won out) they were gonna push hard for the name. They got a cool logo (http://kokoed.deviantart.com/#/d4nx34b) out of it.

It may just be because I'm a huge Assassin's Creed fan, but I love it Ed!

The robot looks really nice! From the moment I saw it at Rally, I knew the X-Cats had brought up another really great robot. I didn't get to see much of it in action, but I really look forward to seeing it on the field at Finger Lakes.

Good luck, and I really look forward to seeing Exxio Auditonomous (:D ) go!

p.s. I'm also really digging the logo!

Looks excellent as usual!

EDIT:

Koko, not sure those bumpers are legal:

[R35]
Teams shall display their team number on the Bumpers in four locations at approximately 90° intervals around the perimeter of the Robot. The numerals must be at least 4 in. high, at least ¾ in. in stroke width, and be either white in color or outlined in white. Team numbers must be clearly visible from a distance of not less than 100 ft, so that judges, referees, and announcers can easily identify competing Robots.

Emphasis mine.

Very nice way to blend robo ball collection and a chute for human feed.

Love the wireless bridge placement, too... :)

Seem perfectly legal to me.

Unless you don't have a number on the back (in which case you would be violating the 90 degrees) or on the side (again, 90 degree placement), then you have 5 numbers on your bumpers, violating the fact that the rule doesn't say "at least 4" it says "4".

If that's the case I'm sure it won't be a problem to paint over the numbers on one of the bumpers.

FLR (abbreviated for Finger Lakes Regional) is about right. I hope they do webcast it. I really hope they run it on channel 4 again so my ex can DVR it for me and we can chop up the video for the Blue Alliance.

Looks great, the gatherer confused me a bit at first but i see the reasoning for what you did.

I look forward to seeing this bot in action!
