Re: pic: 1678 Offseason Robot Progress
Justin,
I think the kids are working to tidy up the CAD and get it out so people can take a better look at what went into the design.

Re: Best looking robot ever?
Every 254 robot since I started FRC in 2004 has been a work of art. It is almost unreal how they set the bar in both performance AND aesthetics on an annual basis. Truly the best in the...
