Wow thats cool. What appears to be one of those cool drive systems, a cool looking arm driven by the FP motors (have you had any trouble with those?), and just a generally nice looking robot. Good job. Have you weighed it though? It all looks pretty heavy, especially with all the bolts you used to attach everything. In any case though it looks great.

Do you plan to use Zip Ties on all those extra wires? :D

Those triangles in the arm were done with hand tools?! Wow, I envy your patience.

Those triangles in the arm were done with hand tools?! Wow, I envy your patience. Plotted out a template with center marks for the fillets. Drilled holes with ~1/2" bits. Jig sawed the lines between the holes. There are usually several people doing nothing, so it gave them a job...

It's around 100 lb, as the description says. All the 1" square tube is 1/16" wall, not the 1/8" wall that seems to be more common on FIRST robots. I had planned on riveting lots of the structure, but there was so much that we decided we'd like to be able to remove easily "just in case".

I hope that C-clamp isn't permanent. =P
