Re: info on 997 bot or 254 bot please!

997 = tank treads (this makes it bounce around when it turns)

can push really well, IT CAN PUSH A ROBOT SIDEWAYS

it's got dual lifts, one is made from fiberglass, the other is made from carbon fiber

It uses pneumatic pistons to raise their platforms.

It's an end-game bot, but it does do defense really well.

The only problem i see with it (as an external observer) is that it has two sets of two pneumatic pistons completely exposed when their lifts are deployed. (Sorry for breaking them at Davis last year, couldn't see what the robot was doing on the other side of the rack)
