Thanks! We use #4cims to direct drive 4 slip wheels in tank drive...I argued for higher traction wheels, but was shown why that was a bad idea...Of course, our driver and the amazing data our scouting team collects has a lot to do with the defense, too

I've heard a lot of things about you, and several members on my team can't wait to meet you at champs...not calling anyone out...well, not until later in this post

See you guys at CMP, and shut down the competition.
Thanks! It's hard to get recognition because sometimes it feels like there's #nolovefordefense lol Hopefully champs will help us find out how good we really are

Amazing video!! Sucks the DiscoBots never got a chance to play with you guys this year. Y'all have had an amazing year, HUGE congrats on it. We will be routing for you guys at Champs and we know you'll make Texas proud!!
Thanks, we hope to make Texas proud, and keep the winning going! That was a hard hit...I'm really glad it didn't cause any serious damage, this robot, like all your robots, is really pretty and awesome!

Fun Fact: TEXplosion has nothing but love for the Discobots. 2587 is the first team to ever accept an alliance invitation from 2789.
