Can you explain a bit more about how your robot is designed? Specifically, I'm curious how many gas springs you use, their force, stroke and location and -- the biggie -- how they're restrained and released at the end of each match.

I was told y'all need something like 8 people to reset them. How do you get the machine off the field at the end of a match and how do you reset it?
