Are you in a library in this photo?

Cool!

Yep, we're in a library, with all that educational stuff.
I'm disappointed because Pink was the first to pull this exact trick last year - people believed it, too - but know a dozen or so teams beat us to the punch. Oh, well.
Actually, this is comically similar to one design that we were batting around, but we decided to do do something else instead. Hmmmmm, I wonder what it could be. . .

How sturdy was the arm and the chassis when you lifted it? Was there any real issue involving the track ball weight?

I knew the joke, I'd seen that robot in action too many times in the '07 season not to recognize and appreciate it. Even though other teams beat you to the joke, this one is still good.

I do think that teams experimenting with the manipulators/robots from last season or prior seasons is a great way to see the differences and similarities in the game piece/design.

Seeing robots in libraries is also cool. Bonus points for that!

We were actually surprised that it was relatively stable, even at/near full extension. We didn't do anything complicated or fast, so it wasn't an intense simulation or anything, but the stability was reassuring.
I think that the size of the ball is what is intimidating, but 10 lbs is still only 10 lbs.
