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.
Sure, their robot is very elegant in most ways. There are still things that could be better, but overall the entire robot fits together really well. I think in the end in FIRST it isnt about who's robot looks the best, or looks like its designs have been gone over with a magnifying glass. It's all about who's robot works better, how well it can function in this year's game.

Remember that in industry, a beautiful, complex machine will always be equal to an ugly, cheap sheetmetal machine, that does the same task just as well.

But yea, their design looks streamlined and elegant. Hopefully we'll see 254 at their best at SVR in a few days.
