Come on 1114 - Post at least one long-range, out-of-focus, blurry snapshot. - And then throw down the gauntlet.
Dare any copy cats to survive against the clever driving, the improved software, and the faster, more reliable, higher volume mechanisms you are going to build next.
Because of all this discussion, I am extremely curious about the general outlines of the design.
Because I have my own favorite subsystems that I am going to continue teaching my team about; I'm pretty sure that by choosing among those subsystems they will continue to assemble a machine that can either give you a run for your money on offense or shut you down on defense.
So, while I am honestly not interested in seeing my guys clone your or anyone's design, I am very interested in seeing your team take this golden opportunity to give the rest of us a challenge to beat.
Come on.... You know that you want to do it.... At least a decent prose description of it....
