Re: Team 2914 Robot Reveal
Unfortunately it doesn't work as well. We can mount the arm a bit higher and reliably tip the containers over. We still haven't decided if that's a good strategy or not.

Re: AndyMark AM14U Chassis Error?
It was intentionally designed that way to allow it to turn about a point. All six wheels on the ground would have caused lots of friction potentially stopping you from rotating.

Re: Gangnam Style and Cotton Eyed Joe
While we're at it, can we also turn the volume down? My throat always hurts in the hotel in the evening because I had to scream over the music all day.

Re: Ideal FRC Game
Water game with minibots. The normal robot is on the field, but dumps a minibot into a small tank to push a button or something.

I would definitely look into the Form 1. The retail price was not set as of now but they ran ~2700 on Kickstarter at the time.
I wouldn't be too worried that the replicator 2 is experimental. ...

Re: Dodge Dart
0:42 reminds me of Top Gear (UK). They have capsized about 10 reliant robins by now (and they dropped a piano on another).
