Here you can see:
- stapled bumpers
- ziptie- and duct tape-based intake
- wooden shooter (needless to say it didn't last very long)
- PVC tube boulder blocker complete with transparent packing tape.
Thus the second robot was aptly renamed "Jankosaurus Rex"
Nevertheless our team had a lot of fun putting it together in just a few team meetings before Blitz
If I recall correctly, Jankosaurus Rex actually won the event.
