I can't wait to see how these guys perform, it's a really interesting design and it seems people have mostly been very impressed with it. They did win Boilermaker and someone said they were voted "Best Offensive Robot" at that competition (I'm not sure who actually set up the vote, not FIRST obviously). In any case, photos like these just make me all the more anxious to go to nationals.
It's been done, but their response is to just grab the top tet and fling it away. It comes down to what is more important? Costing 71 a few seconds in a match, or placing that tet on a goal and getting 3 pts.

P.S. as a driver for team 537, I got lots of first hand contact with both teams at Midwest. WOOT WOOT.
