You guys think thats bad on our (240)'s 2002 robot we actually puched holes, ripped, and broke Lexan by ramming it into those goals. We just considered it battle damage and (me being the driver) convinced them to hang it up in our work room... its a very nice decoration. And as for nice looking robot I dont think that our 2002 robot was too bad it was just 80-20 with Clear Lexan and two big Lexan Rollers for popping balls! As for 2003 well our decal guy got changed and our stickers were really crappy so well its our ugly robot... but it did work.
