FRC3863, Pantherbotics, Newbury Park, CA. Good at a late scale if they're on the bar, decent low/high goal if they didn't get their intake smoked by a tip (and yep, that happened at L.A.). L.A. Regional Judges' Award. Tank of a robot, too.
Yeah, that tip caused quite the discussion - at the Ventura regional (which we went to as well) the head ref even cited it as an example of how an illegal tip could cause a team to get a red card and forfeit their points (which is what happened at LA with our opposing alliance).

If you look through the opening 10-picture slideshow, they've got a team member in #10, and might be one of theirs in #7 as well.
These are the photos of us from that article, good eye EricH.
