Btw, I enjoyed watching your robot compete. Loved your 4-bar canburgler design!

We've done some timing analysis. Nikki got it about right here: CD link. As I mentioned in that other thread, there's still some optimizing going on so we're looking to drop the time further.

This all reminds me of mini-bot racing. Everyone is working hard to optimize milliseconds. District champs and worlds are going to be a real rush.
