Yeah, that was a great robot we had in 06 too, it sorta reminded me of this years in the sense that when it worked, it was very strong, though it had it's share of problems (far less than the ones we had this year though).

The 07 robot I think would have been much better if we had given it some offensive capabilities, especially due to the overall lack of technical issues we had with it. We had a grabbing arm build and ready to go for it but we never had the time or weight to attach it.
Whatever the case, its like they say, there's always next year.

I seem to recall someone else from 469 mention the thermal camera thing too. If anyone got a picture of that I'd love to see it. I remember seeing the device on display as we were in line for our matches, was kinda neat to see all the hot-spots on the robot.
