Re: Team 3647: Off season

Might I inquire as to what the big grey storage tank looking object on the back was? Hazarding a guess, I would say it looks like a pneumatics reserve tank. A very large one.
I also like the sheer accessibility your electronics board has. The orientation, as well, looks like less back pain from spending so much time hunched over 90 degrees to look at one.
On a final note, I'm noticing this more in your elevator than others, have you ever tried blocking a thrown tube with it? It looks like the "wall" that extends up might just be able to do such a task.

All in all, looks like an amazing bot, and I applaud you for constantly striving to better your team, even after competition season is over.
