- the risky and elegant design
- the documentation and in-depth discussions regarding the risks of the design
- what they are doing for this game, encouraging curiosity, adventure, integrity, and good sportsmanship - all in Week 1
- what they are doing for the Central Texas region - bringing their A game to a 2nd year Regional and sharing that A game with the veteran teams and rookie teams, alike - all the while, dealing with the glaring spotlight and the impact of the decision regarding their design

And these are just the aspects of the legend that I've thought about since their video release and throughout yesterday and today. I can't wait to follow them throughout their competition season and to celebrate with them as they go.

We are all very lucky to have FRC 118, the Robonauts, ready to rumble this 2012 FRC season. It's incredible.
