Thanks Barry. This video is actually from last Wednesday or Tuesday night, so we've been up an running for nearly a week now. We learned in 2008 that having at least a week or two to debug is extremely important if a practice bot isn't available after ship so we work extremely hard to get our design finalized early.

Oh, and to answer your question posted on the video, we were inspired by the original Orange 4-bar. (1902 in 2007) We can only hope to have the same success that 1902 had that year.

Also, I'm really glad that people found this video so helpful for strategy discussion and to get a feel for the game. We have more videos that will be up later this week, we just can't exactly reveal the completed robot before the sponsors and team families see it. ;D
