Re: Offseason event in Texas
I would like to do it like IRI. So only a small number of rule changes that make the game better and don't require to many teams to change their strategy to compete.

Re: pic: Behold The Black Box
Are you planning to release any information on how to build this like the processor specs or anything. I think a lot of teams would like to know how you did this. Keep of the great work.

Re: 172's built...a truck!
Is that a locked rear axle as in it does not have a differential. It still seems really cool. I also always wanted to see a team use the bins as part of their robot. :)

Re: Dashboard
You can also use the LabView Program as a Dashboard Viewer.
