Brian,

I am not saying that there aren't great robots around, but due to the technology widely aviable up here, I believe it is the hardest competition yet. I am not bashing anywhere, but when I went to VCU last year, the robots down there where "OK." I don't mean to offend anyone, all the robots down there where good, but there wasn't as hard as the GLR. Look at us, we placed 6th down there, but when we came back to the GLR, we came in 24~25th. Forgranted you could say that we had some bad matches, but you do have to admit, some of the better robots come from up here. ONCE AGIAN, I AM NOT TRYING TO BE MEAN, RUDE, OFFENCEIVE, but I believe due to the technology being widely aviable up here compared to anywhere else, you make the better robots up here. Comon, have you seen a robot that has the same drive-train as Chief Delphi? Or us, we used tracks w/ a gear shifter? How how many gear-boxes can take that kind of punishment with some tank tracks??

Sorry for the caps, i just wanted to make my point!
