Wait, we have a tethered robot?

Yes, they passed inspection. The only issue either of us faced was the transport config, which was not hard.

The inspectors did not seem to care too much about the integrity of the tether.

Yeah wait you have a tethered robot? But really can we get pictures?

I'm looking forward to the first rattle out of the hat in Dallas. 5 of the 6 bots have regional wins under their belts.

I've been curious what 3310 was capable of ever since Paul's teaser reveal post. 57 always has a solid machine that usually goes deep into eliminations. 624 is usually a regional finalist/winner type machine and based on their reveal video I don't see that changing this year. 3481 has historically been an bot that has made it in the elimination rounds and been part of a regional winning alliance. 3802 has been on a regional winning alliance in the past. It should be a heck of a way to start the day.

That's interesting. I would have been assumed the tether would have been a critical part of their inspection.

It's too bad you guys don't play with 148 in any of your matches. Would have been entertaining to see what two tethers did :D

Good luck!

Look out for match 85 in Dallas with 987, 624 and 2468! Depending on how complementary their bots are I could see a finals matchup of 987/624/? vs 148/118/?
