I know that I'm more than a little bit biased, but I apreciated every minute of video that I took of that bot. Of course, what's a good bot without good drivers (Tommy and Eric). I definately think that one of the things that really worked against us at Nationals was that (no offense) there wasn't really a team in our division that could put the other goal onto the bridge without being on it themselves. But I'm not complaining (UTC Regional Winner, Design Award (UTC Regional), Galileo Winner). One last thing that has still puzzled me to this day. At Nationals that year, team 38 won the design award (and I'm not saying that they didn't deserve it), but they were also at the UTC Regional, and we were the ones that the judges gave it to.
