We did this to keep the mounting brace we have on our wheel from warping while spinning.

That being said, I have no doubt it was beneficial for all involved to get a chance to try out their robots on a field, even if it wasn't regulation.
Having seen this robot in action, it was pretty solid, especially compared to some of the others at the event. Everyone needed some tuning which is what this was for  |
Thank you for the compliments on our robot. We do need some tuning done to our robot. Also Blue Twilight has done an amazing job every year hosting the preship competition. I think I can say we played the most matches at Blue Twilight Event.
