As well, I'd take a peek at 4334. While their robot is amazingly KISS, from posts on here their team has made, their team has a lot of values most teams take on their 3rd or 4th season. Talk to them about what they've learned, and you might even learn a thing or two.

If only they were...

1730's design is just simply amazing that they could pull that off. I LOVE THEIR BOT. As soon as I saw the video i was in aw. here is their video for you JVN

4334, OH MY GOD! They are the next 2056 IMO. Always keeping it simple. These guys kept KISS and the thing Karthik always says (build to your resources, I would rather have a robot that does 1 thing PERFECT than a robot that can do everything terribly). They can deliver like no tomorrow and make balancing look like something beautiful.
