Hate that almost every year the design that our team rejects is proven to be the better bot and we always get beaten by that design. Ahh, oh well I guess.

Nonetheless, awesome machine as usual and I hope your drivers had a fun time practicing. Hopefully see you in Atlanta on Newton again. (06 repeat?) We still have that Programming Prowess award you guys gave us on Newton that year. ^_^
1. Nobody has beaten anybody yet, don't give up on your robot.
2. If you decide you're not good enough, you still have 40 lbs of witholding allowance to make changes to your robot. Remember, "done" is a 4-letter word. Think continuous improvement and try to make changes which will have big impacts on overall performance.

Don't stop now!

The thing about working hard, is you can always work harder. The thing about being great is you can always be greater.
