A) Thank you we'll take that as a compliment, and B) I think we look good in lime green

Back to the couple questions. We don't do anything too out of the ordinary with our mecanum. We use AndyMark Nano Tubes for our chassis. They are geared a little faster than last year so we actually have slightly less pushing power. This was a conscious choice as we wanted the speed this year to get around robots faster. We still manage to hold our own quite well in all pushing matches we've been involved in so far on defense. We have a very low center of gravity and good weight distribution.

We have a new primary driver this year (he was our secondary driver last year). He's definitely got a similar style to our previous driver and his name is also Matt just like our previous haha.

We're planning on putting out a release video before champs after the divisions are released. Hopefully we can give everyone an idea of what we can really do!
