Our robot has been through a lot. Gull Lake, St Joseph, Bedford, Michigan State, St Louis, West Michigan off season, and the all girls competition most recently. It also spent the summer traveling to county fairs and being driven a ton.

Our driver (nicknamed "Diva") decided he wanted to see how accurate our old bot still as after all this time. Turns out pretty accurate.

These kids on all these teams are pretty amazing.

He actually did it three times. Not in a row. No comment on how many tries it took. ;)

There are probably some older robots that were built well that are still very good. Our past years did great during regionals, but crappy at St.Louis...
then after we got it home and did some fixing up...worked like it did again
at regionals. With some fine tuning out old 2005 and 2006 robots could
probably still hold their own again.
