I. Love. This.
As we move to District Championships this weekend in PNW and Indiana, and next weekend (FiM, MAR, NE) I hope we will see more of this brief moment where the alliances actually compete against each other, Robo a Robo.
Set your position. (Blue gets final say). Watch your "feet".

They made us back our robot up, but we didn't have enough time to realign the arms before the start of the match. It was still a great show, we just have to make sure to position everything properly next time.

Arc lengths, wingspans, and lever arms. Oh my!
It's like the tip-off at the beginning of a basketball game.
