Re: Team 172 Prototyping
This looks great as a concept, I love simple bots! When teams focus on designing things really well instead of arguing concept the results are always fantastic.

Maybe you could include something to rotate the wrist and change orientation of the tube for scoring?

also, it looks like this bot probably falls well below regulation weight... am I wrong? maybe you could devise a way to eliminate any CG issues and raise stability.
