Only questions are do you have hard stop for the first robot so they don't drive off or go too far before the second bot? Do you have a reset for when some one drives too far if you don't have a hard stop?

I know I didn't answer the question.

Good luck in Philly this year we won't make to defend the title with you.

We do have a hard stop. If you drive too far, you simply drive backwards till the thing flips down again. However, in certain cases of driving too far, no amount of mechanism will recover that...;-)

As for our title... None of us will be there I guess! CIA and ourselves will be attending Cleveland instead. Good luck up north!
