The bar has been raised (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQ3AcPEPbH0&NR).

I am in awe. That is one beautiful work of automation!

Anyone else think this is a good example of a different kind of challenge for FIRST teams? Imagine a competition where teams had six weeks to build a production line using a Mindstorms or Vex-based kit of parts and were scored on production rates, quality and efficiency...

Oh...my gosh...

I am absolutely sure that I could program that. Does anyone want to build? Every little RCX-based car I made broke into thousands of pieces; I'm not a mechanical engineer at all.

Did I mention that was cool?
