Re: pic: 1678's 2014 Robot - Beca

Awesome robot. Glad I got to see this in person a few times. I think 1678 built one of the most versatile robots in the world this year. They can play a variety of positions, and will nail you with hard defense, something we certainly found out.

Something I meant to ask: is there any logic behind the different colored wheels on the ball holder inside the robot? (Blue vs Orange) Are those banebots wheels as well? Was the wheel color chosen for aesthetics, or was it because of the vendor supply, and that was the only color available in the right size/durometer? Regardless both subsystems worked very well. A very nice machine from the Citrus Circuits this year.
