Wayne,

First off, I have to commend you guys on an outstanding rookie year so far. It's mind boggling that you fiugred it out so well on the first try. To have built two machines on top of that is amazing.

This is the 7th year for team #177, and the first time that we have built a duplicate robot. There simply is no substitute for drive time, and this year we've gotten a ton.

I doubt that a large number of teams build a complete second machine though. Even if you can afford it, it's really tough - espescially if you build the whole thing at the High School, like we do. The facts that our design is very simple and our frame just bolts together (hooray for 80/20) are the only reasons that we were able to do it.

See you in Florida,

P.J. Baker
Team #177
