I don't know how you guys are doing it and still alive. I was still recovering from San Antonio when we were in Richmond.

We build 'em tough and maintain 'em well. Yesterday we used some of our unbag period to perform routine maintenance on the drive train as well as a few upgrades. The intake was also fixed thought that was mostly replacing belts, checking bearings, and replacing wheels. That was despite ramming it full speed into the walls repeatedly and having teams run into it, it's a tank. The Choo Choo linkage is being replaced due to some damage at RIDE (it has well over 1000 shots on it) we've decided to swap it out for the spare. Wish I could remember if we were swapping out ChooBaca for R2DChoo or vice versa...

Back of the envelope calculations yesterday: Counting Replays and the Week 0, we've played 51 regulation matches. Add on the preship testing, unbag time, and practice matches and we have a ridiculous run time on that bot already and we still have 3 (hopefully 4) more events to run.

As for how we're doing it, no idea.
