Whoah! Why'd you guys steal 1517's robot?

Backstory: At BAE 1517 had quite the drive system. Great use of tank treads (which happens very rarely in FIRST). One problem. They tipped in every match on Friday. So on saturday they unbolted their shooter mechanism (which accounted for all of their weight above 8", and replaced it with a spray painted cardboard box to look like a tank (I'll see if I have any pictures of it).

Ya see, here in New England, we take our defense wicked seriously.
