Two Great (non FRC) Videos
 

Okay... I just got e-mailed the link to this:

and figure that at least someone on this forum knows the people who built this beautiful beast. Given what I've heard from our eastern friends this year, this might inspire some off-season build projects!

And following our BC VEX Robotics Championship last weekend (one of our afilliated VRC teams, 1346C captained an alliance that took the eventual tournament champions to a third match in the semis) a group of BCIT students made the following video http://www.bcit.ca/update/node/895

BCIT is British Columbia's premiere polytechnic institution and offers degree and diploma programs in mechanical engineering, including robotics technology.

Off to Seattle, tommorrow... looking forward to seeing some old friends again, and seeing how our machine does for real. It's been doing okay in practice, but I've got a funny feeling it won't be quite so lonely on the playing field!

With the winter we just had, that snow plow might be big enough :)

Good Luck in Seattle and hope to see you guys back in GTR soon!

ROBOPLOW looks strangely similar to well know FRC game animation robot. Hmm... ;)
