Re: pic: You guys remember what most of us said would never happen last year?

These teams all do simple things well. Such is great engineering, don't get me wrong.

But other than 1114 saying that they've learned how to do sheet metal, I don't really see any of the three teams doing something new & hard to each individual team. I suppose what I'm curious about is, what have the three teams learned this season that they'd care to share? Are you guys doing anything special with the 900K of data you're receiving back from the robot? Did you try anything new <to you> mechanically?

I think possibly the biggest thing the rest of us can learn from this is the coopertition side of things. When teams work together to design things rather than going it alone, you can really come up with magnificent machines. I am one of the many at this point who are totally humbled by watching videos of such dominant machines.
