Searching!

That's been a problem on some forums I've been to, people get told to search, then they do and get warned for bumping but i digress

Anyhow, 1714's kept all of its bots every year. We used our 2007 robot to beta test the new control system, though when we had to gut the beta parts out our robot's so disassembled it's unlikely it'll ever drive again. It would take a few weeks of effort and scavenging for old parts.

They're really cool to have around and use for demos and whatnot. Though I think our 09 bot is the coolest to demo, since a ton of balls quickly flying out of our robot's a lot more dramatic than our slow 06 Aim High feed or our 08 ball manipulator.
