Don't want to de-rail this thread too much, but 67's 2006 robot was the initial inspiration for the shooter design. The high release point makes shooting from the fender easier while the center of gravity is still low (the deflector weighs less than a pound and a half), making balancing easy. For the first time, I think we have a robot that stands out in a crowd. Although we are pleased with our preformance at BMR, we haven't come close to the full potential of the robot.
You guys were great. You were one of three robots on our pick list and only lost out to 868 because they are our friends. You and 868 are going to rock their world next week in Wisconsin. I wish I could be there in person, but I'll have to watch you on webcast.
