I'm most intrigued by the pair of omni wheels at the leading edge of the robot; it looks like a lot of thought went into your drivetrain design this year. Best of luck with the rest of your build, and I'm really excited to see your robot in action (both in video and in person)!
Thanks! It means a lot.

Overall a lot more thought went in to this design than anything we have done before. Many of the mechanisms have been completely iterated at least 3 times and we really took a lot of extra time designing to make sure the bot was not only good at gameplay but also easy to maintain.

We really look forward to competing with you guys.
