I mean that as a compliment.
Your team inspired my team in 2004.
Winning with a wastebasket in Ultimate Ascent.
I see a whole lotta love in your fabrication pics.
What unique strategy do you have in store this year?
Hope to see you at the NEDCMP.

Thanks! We like getting called weird and unique.
I must extend a belated Thank You for the creativity award you gave us a Hartford last season. Your award (more so than the official creativity award) made the event for one of our rookie students - he kept it on his lap for the whole drive back, and only begrudging put it on the shelf in our build space.
Our strategy this year prioritizes getting the recycling cans quickly, giving our alliance partners easy access to them, and scoring the cans on stacks up to 5-6 tall. With a dash of making 2-wide-by-3-tall stacks in there. We figure a typical Ri3D robot can quickly make a stack of 6 totes from two stacks of 3 totes, plus all the landfill totes are laid out in twos...
We hope to see you at NEDCMP as well! We were very close to making it last year, hopefully a little more success this year will get us in!
