Until this year, the previous year's robot was scrapped and scavenged for parts. But Spike 3 (last year's robot) did so well (winning both the Mid-Atlantic Regional
and the Philadelphia Alliance Regional) that no one wanted to scrap it. So Spike 3 lives on, and just yesterday we demonstrated both Spike 3 and Spike 4. And I got to drive for a while.
Hey, this edit feature is fun!
