We changed the swerves to mini-cims for a 2.5 pounds of weight savings, and the robot seems just about the same in terms of performance. We created can burglars for robbing two cans from the step. We also created cheese cake versions for our partners, if that plays out. They weigh less than 2.5 pounds for a pair, and can grab the cans in about 0.5 seconds. Bryce took some nice 240 fps video of it. Hopefully he'll post some here.
