That thing is Excellent! And the unwritten ability to pickup from under the bridge has got to be a bonus.

What scares me the most is the little-to-no reaction from the crowd when the robot scores baskets and the thought that a missed shot would shock the crowd more than scoring.

Looking good. Guess I'll see it in a few weeks at BMR.

Ditto.

Was wondering when you were going to release this to CD.

Congrats on a successful build season, and Boiler Up!
