Re: Is Bag and Tag Necessary?

The TechnoKats built three robots too. One was the kit chassis, and was never intended as more than a programming/prototyping testbed. The second one was the "first draft" with lots of rough edges, and was always meant to be the practice 'bot.

The third one is in the bag. It incorporates a lot of lessons learned while building and tweaking the draft version, actually meets the size rules, and is a lot prettier. (It also somehow ended up a lot heavier than expected--perhaps the industrial strength steel hinges on the lexan wheel guard added at the last minute have something to do with that.)
