Wow, I don't even know if fellow Michigan teams like 1918 and 573 have these devices. Please add on to this list!
We have had a kickstand on our robot since Troy, although we have triple balanced without any form of balance assist in less than 20 seconds (with 85 and 910). Our kickstand has also been tested, and we have a triple balance with it (with 4002 and 453). We *should* have some other tricks up our sleeves for next week though
