Re: Aluminum
Cory and Dave,

Thanks for sharing the information about the 7075 axles. Providing the same type of bumpers are allowed this year, we just might give this a try.

Cory, we really appreciated last seasons unanounced visit to your Team's lab. I hope you didn't mind. We just happened to be at AMES when it occured to us that you guys were based somewhere on site and one of our team members asked if we could pay you guys a visit. Afterall, it was your team that originally traveled to Hawaii with Jason to show us your 1999 robot and got us into all this stuff. Being in Hawaii, we can't exactly visit many team sites, so yours was the first one we visited in the 7 years we've been at this. Our shop is a bit on the small side in comparison to yours, but we took away some insights on how we might organize it a bit better and store materials. It was neat seeing so many of your past robots. I remember thinking. Oh yeah, we lost in the finals to that one in 2000, to that one in the finals in 2003, to that one in the finals in 2005. Hmmm I'm starting to see a pattern. I guess losing to you guys 50% of our career in finals isn't so bad. Maybe one year we'll actually play on the same side. Good luck this season and I guess we'll see you at SVR!
