No problem. It was well deserved, and you guys were pretty fun to watch.

The question I had was more of a general one. I was running around more then usual at this event so I didn't get a chance to talk to most teams to learn about their machines.

I was just curious the type of sensor, and how it was being used/employed on your robot.

I remember Eric saying your team prototyped it last year, and then perfected and used the system this year so it seemed to be pretty awesome and essential to the robots performance.

Regards,
Kevin
