Thanks Basel. Without sounding like a suck-up reciprocal congratulatorian (if that is even a thing), I thought your bot was hands-down the best engineered problem solver of the IRI competition. I spent at least a full hour on two separate occasions talking to your team on the process and mechanics of the hanging and deflecting system. There were so many subtle clever things that you did that made me really appreciate the human mind. The simple and elegant application of using zipties as a support for the upper mechanism that were sheared off when you deploy was really very smart. I know I would have designed a 3 pound, very complicated system just to do the same job.
