Re: The Robonauts 118 - 2013 Video
Incredible robot.

Videos like this always make me equally parts inspired and so angry I could spit. I see a machine shop and a full size field and a robot that obviously has been to the laser cutter and has a large student, mentor and support base and then I look in the closet we have at school and the beat up garage my fellow mentor has and the 10 students we can get to show up and the one regional we can afford to attend and just shake my head. I am shaking my head and angry at myself because I won't pursue the resources needed to compete at the elite level, because I choose to have a life outside robots as crazy as that sounds. LOL

118 obviously has an excellent program, incredible mentors, and enthusiastic students and I want to congratulate them on what appears to be one of the "elite" bots for the year. We all work incredibly hard for 6 weeks, and we are all proud of the robots we can field given our resources, and then we all take inspiration from the teams with more resources. Thanks for the inspiration 118 and I can't wait to see this bot in person at the Bayou.
