I remember that gold frame with lexan paneling jousting atop the Stack Attack ramp.
I also remember needing to sawzall a chunk of 1075's 2004 frame out because the 1" square tubing got whacked so hard it had moved ~1" into the wheel and was preventing it from turning.

Ahhh, the good old days.
Didn't look like that at the end of the season (we ditched the center wheels), but close enough.
I might have video of your match from the 2003 Canadian Regional up at homarv13 on YouTube. Not sure if I uploaded all of them. 1114's first ever robot is featured in one of the matches.
Little known fact - some maintenance lackeys at a local university where that robot was stored likely pilfered that robot and sold it for scrap. The bot was stolen. So sad. We don't like that place much any more.
