besides, i find a few interesting things in that picture:
1 - how do you get the ball up there ?
2 - it seems to me that you have the most vital componet on the outside: the reciever
3 - the reciever has no cables connected to it
4 - looks like that is the reciever with the display screen, and i believe that the reciever with the display screen is the one in teh station....noton the robot
well , thats all
i wish you guys good luck, on actaully building a robot
P.S. we know what we're doing, do you ?

I feel I should answer your questions in a frank and honest manner.
1) The ball aquisition device is on the opposite side. There's a reason that picture is taken from the side it is, so as not to give away any truly useful information. You can design that component yourself, or try to guess what ours looks like. There are still some secret aspects of this robot.
2) That is acutally a matter of some contention among our team members. The electronics are mounted internally. We are deciding whether or not to mount them externally. Putting them on the inside protects them better, but makes maintainence more time-consuming. Any advice?
3) See question 2
4) See question 2
