Chances are, our pits will be right next to each other at Wisconsin. It'll be fun comparing bent parts coming off the robots. I thought about challenging you to a race to see who could make the first practice match, but there is little chance we'll make one.

You might want to consider some "curb feeler" posts on the corners of your frame riding about an 1/8" over the carpet. Your wheels must in real far in, or you have a lot of drop in your center wheel. You practically tip over when you change direction. People kept hitting our climbing robot last year, and the colored discs would fly out. We added "curb feelers", and we lost a lot less discs.

No hard feeling from 4143. We'll gladly play with you, or cleanly against you at Wisconsin. Good luck at St. Louis. Hopefully we'll see you there.
