Re: pic: Teaser - Team 467

Apparently nobody here has seen 1350's 2010 crio mount, It was mounted on the double walled lexan side panels. That might not seem that bad, but sometimes, due to our interesting configuration*, that was on the bottom. Additionally, the side panels were only supported by threaded rod. To top it all off, our overpowered ball control mechanism had a tendency to lift the robot up and over the balls, placing them under the robot, after which our driver would attempt to dislodge it by any means necessary. There was at least one match where I wondered how the crio was not damaged by such occurrences.

*It was fully symmetrical, there was no 'up'
