Are you sure Patrick? It looks as if a few parts are not connected or wired?

It will be light though!

Do your robot even fit the description of a "complete" robot that's allowed on a stretcher?

At least you guys are controlling the balls... seems like other robots can still push this robot to the endzone without the stretcher.

It's really simple all right.

Congrats!!!

But a word of advice, never say, "done."

Is it so "done" that you won't bring any extra parts or tools to the competition? No minor tweaks after your first FIRST practice session?

The only way a design engineer knows when a product is done is when the deadline hits.

Keep an open mind and . . .

Good Luck!!!!!!
