Attention teams, if you don't give a darn about quality, you should. If you do, check out these two robots. In my opinion, these two robots are the highest quality in FIRST in nearly every aspect. The attention to detail is phenominal. If you spend 10 minutes looking at one of these beauties, you are cheating yourself. It takes hours of jaw-dropping stares to truly appreciate all that went into these machines. Every little detail. Nothing was overlooked and not one bit of quality was sacrificed.

We all can learn a lot about quality and good design and fabrication from these two robots.

In all honesty, there are still aspects of design in this robot that I don't agree with, but when you look at the whole picture, all you can say is "wow."
