I don't have pix of the Beast. I did have the honor of inspecting 71's robot at St. Louis, and later of watching them in the tournament from field-side. A powerful swerve-drive chassis, good ball sweeping and HP loading capability, and an accurate high shooter. In the semis (against an alliance that included my team) they racked up 7 or 8 three-pointers in autonomous and went on to trounce us.
From the inspector's point of view, the Beast is an impressive creature this year. Very solid, very effective. And although the team kept adding parts all day on Thursday (and were therefore one of the last to complete inspection) the robot never seemed to gain any weight!
Congratulations to 547, 71, and 537 for a well earned regional victory and to 71 for the regional Chairman's award. We'd love to see you back in St. Louis any time.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
