Yeah, that was tough. Our software did not catch a stall event in auton and burned the motors up - bad timing! The robot is so small it runs on a couple 775s on each side. The 775s are awesome but you have to protect them, no stalling allowed.

Glad to help where we can! Some, but not all, of the defenses are very different rendered in steel.
