The closer we get to competition the more nervous I am becoming. I feel we have a robot that can score in the center goal but I can definitely see this becoming a very rough competition. I just hope that our bot can stand it. I think we have all put a lot of thought and effort into our designs and I would hate to see just a bunch of junk at the end. Good luck to all!!
