Sorry Joe, but the devil on my left shoulder has finally gotten the best of the angel on my right. At last count, I think that the Bobcat weighed only about 123 Lbs. I also came to the realization the other day that the the Bobcat has fewer motors in total (7 and no pnuematics) than CD6 has on its drive train

.
Never the less, CD6 is impressive in concept, and based on the improvement made over the few short days of the regional I'm sure that it will be more than impressive in performance by the time NYC, GLR, and nationals roll around.
Good luck at NYC and GLR. See you in Florida.
