I can honestly say I've never been so happy to not see the wings of terror. I am intrigued through. I was close to e-mailing you to see if we could learn about what super bot your team is creating this year. Can you give us any specs or more hints. The website has nothing new to offer so do you. I'll show you mine if you show me yours (or I would if I had access to a picture) but I could at least release some details in private. I'm interested to see the rest of it. I won't make it to Houston so good luck and be nice to 1108 with your bot. Hopefully I'll get a chance to stop by your pits in Atlanta. I can't wait.

The details you get now are:
It makes full batteries empty.
It is a work in progress.
It has no name yet.
It is powerful.
It it fat.

The rest will come all in good time.

It looks like it's swerve / crab. Gearbox clearly incorporates drill and CIM motors (maybe more). There's a pneumatic cylinder going into or through the visible gearbox - perhaps a shift-on-the-fly design. The radio modem will be relocated before competition.

CIA image analysts are not allowed to look at the teasers - it just spoils the fun for everyone else. Now go back to your spy satellite pictures and leave us to our robots. :)
