1293 learned a bit this year...
-Don't jam the joysticks on the robot if it's anywhere near Billfred. (Hit again--and this time, with no window motor drivetrain. Two CIMS. Kitbot. Ouch.)
-Robots can be built in six weeks.
-Dump your tetra before heading toward the end zone. (Man, that hurt.)
-Sexy use of aluminum can be functional. (If you look at
this picture, you'll note that oval-looking 1293 behind our arm. Turns out that with a bit of bending, and a well-placed rubber band, it does wonders for knocking down the arm at the start of the match.)
