3) They probably slapped on legal electronics to drive around that robot.
4) ... I wouldn't be surprised at all if their 2010 robot looks exactly the same with a minibot.

1. What you see as "worn" is actually a couple of bored students with a black marker. These wheels are not even the same style used in 2007 and they are not cut like we have in any other year
2. Even as early as 2004, our bases have a 45* cut at the front and back with just enough room to cover the wheels. This is done to preserve structural integrity and save weight.
3 & 4. It seems like you are accusing us of using our "practice" 2007 robot instead of building a new one
. We did not have one. Don't worry - a surprise awaits you at the Florida regional.
