The hole patterns are for the chassis style we've adopted - plates and standoffs, like last year's robot. It plays well to our strengths, i.e. plasma cutter and Prototrak and has proved to be elegant and robust.

I'm all for teams picking a set of build methods based off their fabrication strengths... we certainly have picked the way we build based off our available resources! That said, I meant less the spiffy-looking robot parts and more the piece of sacrificial wood on the Prototrak in the first picture... :-)
That said, a few hands of cribbage between matches sounds like a good idea!
GSR 2012 was a bizarre event for us... though I'm in way complaining about the finalist showing. I certainly couldn't criticize anyone above us for not picking us though, as we were anything but an offensive juggernaut at GSR! We were just glad to be able to be able to assemble an alliance that made it to the finals!
