"They called you exotic. Which is just people talk for awesome. Which you are."

Just wondering, is your roller covered in a non-slip mat? If so, what are you using to hold it on? We've used it for Vex in the past and have had some issues with attaching it using zip ties.

"Which you are, which is why I am so happy I saved your life, buddy. [Babou growls and squeaks to him] Don't worry, probably just thousands of dollars in fines, maybe a little bit of jail time, hopefully just probation."

Please tell me this comes from Archer.

Eddie- Yeppers! Fun Fact: we have 250 feet of the mat from 2009 and it gripped the ball super duper well so thats what we used. Its wrapped around 4" PVC and then riveted onto the roller. Then we made the green pattern with the AndyMark tread to funnel the ball towards the center.

Ghostmachine360- Ohh yeah its from Archer. I am the only person on me team that knows CAD so i named the robot Babou :). We are making signs that say Welcome to the Danger Zone and there will be a lot of Archer quotes. Also, I customised my teams FRCMega tweets to have archer Babou jokes.
