It is great to see another sophomore team with so many good ideas packed into one robot.

1. You used your arm extension motor as a counterweight. Cool.
2. Your four-wheel drive system is ingenious.
3. It lifts really high for such a short robot (did you notice that it looks like a trebuchet?)
4. Your CG looks really low.
5. You took the time to make it pretty.

Nice job! I only have two questions. First, do you have trouble with friction within your arm, or did you find a way to put bearings or UHMW or something inside? Please tell me you aren't coming to Portland.

Congratulations.
