ps - i dont know neha .. ill share her with you for prom for a t-shirt!

edit: in response to Kevin's comment below: the wings are made of PVC .. we figured if they are good enough for FIRST to use as game pieces .. they are good enough for us ... they are attached to aluminum on the robot though and that issue did come up, so the bar it is attached has reinforcements on it to prevent it from warping. we are going to test it by running one of the old robots in to it, hopefully later today

I am also interested in operator/safety captain badges, pins, or any other handouts your team may have given out that you would be willing to mail to Canada.
