Re: Best 3rd pick this season
If we're being technical, we weren't even the 3rd robot at worlds, we were the 4th :)

Re: 2016 Finger Lakes Regional

Re: pic: Mecanum 8 inch Iso
I like the design and I applaud your team's efforts to have some set designs ready for kick-off. Just remember you have to redesign the whole set-up after kick-off for it to be legal.
Just wanted to...
