Awesome work 1987! I just showed the video linked by Travis to one of the other engineers here at work and he was extremely impressed.

It took them just a bit too long in the semis to get really good at what they were doing, but at least they went out guns-a-blazin', as evidenced by this performance in Semifinals Match 6:

This video is amazing not just because of 1987 but also for the diversity of approaches that the 6 robots have for handling the game pieces.
