Unfortunately despite their great showing at Auburn thanks in part to their scaling device in question, they did not qualify for the PNW DCMP and have thus ended their season

Yes you would be surprised what slips by just for example at inspections at the PNW DCMP this evening a more observant inspector noticed a RS540 motor on a robot that had passed inspection 3 times this season.

However in this case more than one inspector including the LRI at the Auburn event took a look at their wind sock and we all agreed that it was legal and it certainly would have passed had they moved on to DCMP.
