I have to say the pool noodles are really clever. Is that a limit switch on one of the middle ones to detect when they contact the overpass?

Thanks! We can't wait to see 498 there as well
The drivetrain is in the norm with pretty good speed and great handling. We still need to order that nitrile tread stuff, since our left center wheel treads take a massive beating from pivoting time and time again.
As for the pool noodles, we just had some lying around, and when the time came to figure out a way to knock them off, the noodles seemed to work better than anything else! And yes, there's a switch [zip tied] on a noodle so we know when to stop in "hytonobrid."
Can't wait for the AZ Regional! Should be exciting this year
