This means I won't be sleeping tonight because I'll be up rewatching this video over and over again.

I think you got a nice robot there. Can't wait to see it in competition! Great work this season.

So many thoughts... Where do I even begin?

First, beautiful machine. Definitely a Robonaut robot. Sleek, stylish, a little boxy, but we're all open minded, so blocks are welcome.

Secondly, SWEET HOLY MOTHER OF KAMEN. What a robot. This monster of a machine is going to be running the field in almost every match. My first inclination is to say it is perfect. Though I know nothing is perfect, I think 118 may be a top contender for being closest. It's accurate from the pyramid or the loading zone, and has a climb that's really scary, to be honest.

Third, I'm jealous. You guys have the same climbing design that we had (and rapidly pursued until last week), but couldn't figure out how to make it really work. Kudos to you guys.

And finally. Wow. Just wow. You guys rock. You guys inspire me to compete at a higher level more than any other team. I've never felt so inadequate about my own robot. 118 is amazing.
