If a person didn't know who RAWC is, they would think that this machine was built in a professional machine shop, entirely by skilled trademen who do this every day of their lives. It has a Championship-quality drivebase, a strong and articulate arm, and a professional paint job. I agree with Karthik that it is the best looking robot out here yet.

But... everyone needs to know something. This robot will only be seen in one place this year: Los Angeles. 968 is only going to one regional and not attending the Championships. I wish they could compete more. Therefore, it is obvious that this team is not rolling in the dough. They have just proved that you can build an amazing robot that is capable and beautiful on a limited budget.

Great job to Travis and all of the Robot Alliance of West Covington. You have been making great robots for 4 years now, and everyone is noticing.
