However, (just cuz no one else has really defended the other point of view) up on the arm you have a better "view," esp of the yellow triangles in the goals on the floor. (you can see it from farther away).
But in order to really worry about that, you hafta get the tetra first, which is higher.

So have we. I think we decided to put it on the bot frame, out of harm's way, esp cuz our arm extends, and its hard to get cables up there. altho that
would have been cool.

Thanks for making FIRST such a great experience for me. I'm no longer on 1351, and I'm not currently planning to mentor team 97, but FIRST has meant so much in getting me to where I am now, in life and at MIT, class of 2011.
I met Billfred! He recognized me!
