These are amazing results. Even better, Travis has done a great job explaining this testing and failure modes.

It is one thing to be a great designer, it is another thing to be able to explain what you did, how things work, and why things happen.

Personally, I appreicate this work. Needless to say, FIRST will see better designs from many people because of this effort. This design has indeed "raised the bar" in FIRST.

Most respectfully,
