lol, so that hug wasn't intended for me? oh well, better than nothin', i guess...
i found it kinda distressing how many people got us mixed up. i thought our robot looked pretty good, but apperently it looked like something that coulda been built in one day (assuming you had a CNC, 20 spur gears, a crapload of bearings, and a 24" stroke cylinder lying around...)

it wasn't much better for us. we were sitting in our pit waiting for our match to be called (wondering why they were so late) when they went from "team 1396 final call" to "team 1369 final FINAL call". the funny thing was that someone had just asked me (seconds before) if we'd been called yet, and i had told them that i was sure that we hadn't. woops...

my top five would probably be 64, 121, 67, 25, 494. see my complete list here
