Attached is a little better photo of 1519's robot as of the North Carolina Regional.

However, our robot, "Discobolus Rex," will hopefully look fairly different by Thursday at CMP. Using 27.0 pounds of our 30.0 pound fabricated parts allowance, we have a lot planned for Wednesday night in order to hopefully increase our OPR from the 64.1 we achieved at NCR to even more at CMP...

By an hour after the pits open on Wednesday night, we hope to have reduced the robot we pull out of the bag to nothing but a drive base! Then, we plan to mount a whole new upper frame with a revised more-accurate shooter. We'll then disassemble the old 30-point climber (we never actually managed to get above the 10-point level in a competition match, although we had it mostly working with essential human assistance on the practice field) and re-assemble it in a different configuration and a new movable carriage to re-make it into a 10-point quick-hanger. We'll also move the battery from the front of the robot to the back and accordingly move the main breaker.

We'll try to remember to get photos at opportune times -- looks like it will be a busy night!
