As the drivetrain designer/C.A.D. technician/machinist for the Lunacy and Breakaway robots I'd like to thank you for the complements, we work hard every year to design machines that perform. And last year I personally worked hard to learn programming and help the programming be as consistent and great as it was. This year one of my good friends, worked hard to design this robot. I'm proud of the work he did and the rest of the CAD team. I'm very happy with the Qualifying performance they had at Queen City. They showed how well the robot could perform. I am sad to say Team Driven did not qualify for St. Louis. I have heard that there will be team members going anyways along with our Woodie Flowers Award winning mentor. I myself plan to attend as my college is only an hour drive from St. Louis, along with other alumni from the other Lee's Summit schools teams.
To add to this list I would have to say 1987 the Broncobots are under-rated, they have a good robot this year and they have a very solid P.R./chairmans team.
I would also have to say Team Titanium 1986 doesn't get as much recognition as they should. They have well built robots every year, they perform very well.
