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.
I don't want to derail this thread either, but it's crazy that someone used our (67's) 2006 robot as an inspiration for a design this year. 2006 is the year and robot that nobody talks about on the HOT Team. I wish you better luck in implementing this design than we did!
