We have named him Adrian in honor of one of our young alumni mentors that passed away in June of last year. He was the one responsible for solving our biggest consistency issues with last years can grabbers the day before we packed up for Champs. He was also the mentor I worked along side of the most working with our Mechanical Design and Fabrication sub-teams last year. The last time I saw him was when we wrapped up after picking up and unloading the 5 big machines we got a couple of days earlier. I am sad that I wasn't able to work with him this season on improving our shop and training our students. He will be greatly missed.


EDIT: also the stuff Mike said
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When we started working on the 2 ball auto we were getting times of around 23 seconds for the full cycle. We managed to shave 9 seconds off of that time(And we could have done more!!!)*

*well probably not any meaningful amount of time
