It's a five-foot robot, currently right around ten pounds underweight. (We took the robot over to 1293's shop, since they have a scale. It read 96 pounds at first, which I really thought was a zeroing problem--it wasn't. So I stepped on the scale to make it read 126 and snapped a picture to bring back to the team. They bought it. )

The ridiculously fast part, of course! Well, and the wheels are smaller than 1618's past robots, getting closer to the size y'all ran in 2005 (ours are 5.5" as I recall), although that's largely a function of us receiving smaller wheels in the KOP and not really having resources, time, or desire to make or buy six smaller wheels when we could just get two more KOP ones.
