By the way, conrats on winning UCF...the driving at the end of Finals Match 1 to get into the end zone was amazing.

The design was .2 lower at center. But I learned something about welding this year. Normally when you weld steel it pulls the joints together. But we found all the aluminum welding on this thing actually pushed the joints apart. So from the side view of this thing it did a banana shape a little over the length of it. So if you held one end on the ground the other ends wheels are almost 1/2" off the floor. So it's as if that center wheel is more like 3/8" lower.
And that last match was cool. It looked like a pinball machine how he bounced off everything but kept making progress back. Tytus is good at driving in reverse as well as Fwd. But I've watched that last moment a few times. It's really neat to see how pink made all the right moves to create the gap, and then it seemed like it
hopped in there just so. That was actually the very final match of UCF.
Thanks for the compliments.
