I don't mean to rain on your parade in any way, but qualitative data is almost useless in an engineering profession. You can't just tell your boss, "It took half my strength to break this part." It says nothing useful about the strength of the part, because it's relying on your strength, an unknown amount, and your abilities to accurately guage your strength.
Ouch, JNadke. Don't you think this is a little harsh? This is what FIRST is about - being excited about your team's robot. And that dig about accidentally using an apostrophe rather than a quotation mark was a little unnecessary.

Tton: Your robot looks very nice, and very professional. Good luck!
