Seriously, you've outdone yourselves yet again. That is one beautiful robot, which I hope to see in person at Champs.

Thanks for the complements. Unfortunately, we'll most likely have to remove the number plates in this photo, as they are absurdly heavy. We have created replacements made from black vinyl applied to 1/16" thick white delrin.

Also, the swerve drive was something completely new for us. We've never built nor programmed one before. And for years, we've said we'd never do it. But, after evaluating the game, the rules, and our resources this year, we figured this would be as good of a time as any for a swerve drive. So, we did it, and I think it turned out rather well. We'll see how it performs in competition.
