I have to agree with what everyone has said so far...

This thing is simply amazing. When John told me what they were doing, I did a double take and immediately asked him if he was joking. I seriously thought he was kidding and was being the typical protective designer stretching the truth while waiting to reveal the real thing when the first competition rolled around. I have to be honest and say that up until last night, there was still a significant part of me that didn't believe him.

Seeing it put a huge smile on my face though... He WAS serious... that smile is something that will probably only be beat by seeing this thing drive in person or via webcast. It really is one of a kind.

The 148 folks should be really proud of this robot. Its a bold strategy with an appropriately bold robot. You guys should do great this season, without a doubt!
