Foss, the Fat Swan looked awesome from what I could see on the webcast. Hope to see it in person one of these days. Hats off to you and 2168 for fielding such a strong machine.

Absolutely beautiful machine.

The lightening underneath the radio looks suspiciously like a Pokéball.

That's because it is.

There are two pokeballs, two basketballs, and our team number waterjetted in a couple locations on the robot. Why? Because designing late at night ends with funny lightening patterns.

Thanks for the compliments so far, we are very proud of what we produced this year.

To clarify, 125 and 2168 did not build twins or collaborate in any way. The fact that our robots looks so similar was a complete surprize to us when we ran into each other at scrimmage. It is rather cool to look at the two variations on a similar concept. Though we never got to partner up, it would have been cool to see these robots on the same side of the court.

Brandon, 2168 is ready and looking forward to NYC to complete with some old friends and to make new ones.

There's a highlight reel from the Shakedown featuring both teams' bots.

Brandon also updated his facebook pics throughout the season which was very cool.
