adjustable turret hood
custom steering wheel (a pot hooked to the analog input on the driver's station translated to give values for the steering encoders to follow)

Pink is from Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Yes, there are significant differences between their bot and yours, the most notable being the swerve drive. Pink is using a six wheel tank drive.
Even if there are resemblances, don't let your ego take a hit! Pink consistently has some of the nicest robot engineering in FIRST.
