We didn't really do anything code-wise, but we had some fun controller-wise.

Our robot has a dual drive system - basically we're on wheels by default, and when we flick a switch, two cylindars push down on a tread system. When this happens, the robot is lifted up off the wheels and onto the treads. The overall effect is that the robot chasis looks like its bouncing. So, because our robot needed a bit more ghetto in it, I labeled that switch on the oi the "Hydros"

Then theres the fun with fortune cookies. I don't know how this started, but we began taping random fortune cookies (the fortunes, silly) onto the oi and onto the robot. Like in front of the joysticks, it says something to the effect of "Be calm and relaxed when facing an emergency." On the front panel of our robot, it says something to the effect of "Be kind and gentle towards others." Now, this becomes quite funny when you actually see our front panel... also notice the chipped Lexan on the right, along with the paintjob that used to be perfect. Needless to say, our bot is VERY kind and gentle towards others
