I think this is the first 3 wheeled shooter I've ever seen...

Great job! You didn't write your number on your bumpers too many times! :rolleyes:

When it comes to bumpers, I make sure I build them right ;)

All around solid performer. Lines up quickly. Great job.

Lines up quickly.

A few days ago, the time between shots was about 6 seconds because of the wheel speeds, but due to use of our practice bot, we have brought that speed down to just 1.9 seconds. Hopefully that could be decreased even further with some more programming tweaks :D.

Cool looking bot. I would love to see that shot from the bridge in a match at NYC. Can't wait to see you guys there.

Hey Ryan, I think I see a loose staple on the bumper on the left...:p

1676 never goes out of their way to build a pretty robot, but boy do they know how to build one that can take on most anyone.

Also, shut up about bumpers. I have never been so upset over the robot before...

The bumpers are in fact nice, they are very clean and the numbers look crisp; great work! Now to wait for the chassis team to change the idler locations. ;)

This is the type of robot I love; Practical and straightforward, and as a result everything it needs to do it does flawlessly. A definite sleeper hit.

My thoughts exactly. I'll take function over form any day... after all, there are plenty of function based awards (winner, finalist, design awards) and only one "form" award (Imagery IIRC).

Very nice robot. It's a shame you won't be at Virginia this year.

We would love to go down and play with all of you again, but due to the new MAR district system, we don't have the time time or money =/. Maybe next year! :]

Luckily for us though, the NYC Regional is on an off-weekend for districts and is extremely close by (closer than the closest district is to us, actually), and we are saving money by commuting each day.

That's... interesting.
Also, I want to take the weekend of the Mt. Olive district off to watch some pretty tough competition. 11, 25, 75, 103, nd 1676 are going to be there if I remember correctly. That will be quite the shoving match.
