Re: Recorded can burglar times and special thanks after CMP

First of all, huge congrats to 1678, 118, 1671, and 5012 for winning their 1st ever world championship banners. Much deserved and easily years overdue for several of you guys. Amazing job!

We knew 1678 and 118 had two of the fastest and most reliable can burglar setups demonstrated prior to champs and we were well aware they were also working on improvements to be unleashed in St. Louis. We worked progressively on our Can-Ninjas design throughout competition season for eventual deployment at Champs. We were hoping to have the opportunity to place our Can-Ninjas opposite either and/or both of you guys on the big stage on Saturday, but that honor may have to wait until IRI. Our second set was being installed on our great partners from 3847, and unfortunately never got the chance to take the field.

Here's video of these can assassins operating in peak form in QF8 on Tesla field...unfortunately, this was the last chance they had at deployment that day. We are still working on pulling an exact time relative to the other great teams you listed, but they should be somewhere in the 200ms ballpark.

UPDATE: Upon further analysis, it looks like we are actually closer to the 300ms timeframe. The best footage we have is at around 30 fps, so its not the most accurate, by any stretch.
