Yes, for those of you who don't know 179 and 180 are sister teams (trust me, I know this all too well). That's becuase ORIGINALLY the majority of our adult mentors worked at Pratt & Whitney down in Palm Beach. Those in Palm Beach County started 179 and in Martin County they started 180. And at the moment the only two UTC-P&W Florida teams too.
Oh and S.P.A.M., we've always used treads...well except for the bot we never talk about from the team rookie year. Its like a trademark/what's expected from us. Being on the team for my fourth year, its like the one thing we do right. Build on heck of a drivetrain that gives us power, speed, and manuverability (that's what boogie wheels are for, especially with treads!!! -> hint).
