Hey ! You're from Team Titanium! I think that I saw an awesome video of the Kraken from last year. Man, that bot was intimidating to see!

We had something happen similar this year. We were testing out the code for our catapult shoot series and someone came in from the CAD team and picked up the controller to get a measurement for it and place it upside down on the table. This caused the robot to take off full speed towards a student sitting in a chair. Luckily one of the programmers has quick reactions and was able to disable the robot before it did any damage.

At least you don't have to get a new Ping-Pong table. Either that or my dad can fix it.

Thanks. Watch the Top25 reveal show this Saturday to see this year's robot. We're hoping for the same reaction.

I'll be sure to see it!
