Re: pic: 3313 Thor Hammer Swing

Thanks for all the kind words everyone! The design came together really nicely this year. We had some problems through build season, but generally speaking, it was a low stress 6 weeks. We're super proud of it.

It is definitely named Mjolnir. We almost named it "Myaw myaw" from Thor 2 but thought that Mjolnir sounded better. <------ Super nerdy reference

To be honest, no.

Our driver, Bryce, has 3 years of experience so we trust him to make the correct decision on positioning the robot and avoid others. Knock on wood(en hammer), we have never caused any damage with the hammer. After seeing the force of the hammer swing, robots tend to stay away from it. When robots try to position behind us, Bryce does a cool spin move thing to avoid them.
