: I have received word that this is just a decoy robot to distract people from your real robot.
: Any truth?

Ok patrick, after recieving your question and doing a through investigation into the matter, i have discovered that the rumor you have heard COMPLETELY TRUE! Yes, i tell you, the rumor is TRUE. The one they have is only a nonworking prototype without any of the external 'features'. What then, do you ask, does their real robot look like? well, i have managed to take this secret camera shot of the robot to bring you the truth about the WPI lie...
So without further ado, i give you, WPI's true robot, able to wedge under a bridge, lift a bridge, can't pick up balls, and we know it can't do anythign with them if it could, and we are pretty sure it can squirm under a bar when necissary...
