If you look closely, you'll notice we even made clear wheels.
Aside from our great resources to work with plastics, we also do it because it is cool. It has always been a goal to be as clear as possible, and our robots have become clearer every year. If you ever get a chance to visit our pits, you will also see the clear isnt limited to the robot, we have clear toolboxes, as well as an awesome clear battery charging station

It is nice to see some transparency in a group for once. Seriously though, thanks for explaining it to me. I've heard arguments by teams that argue for all wood robots and thought motives might be similar. Turns out they are completely different.

Sorry if the pun was too bad, I couldn't resist.
