Wow.
If this is really real, and 148 and 1678 end up in the same division, good luck winning.

Those were my thoughts exactly. That wouldn't even be fair. And unlike the unfair combination of 1114/469 in 2010, you can't even play defense against it.

Definitely digging the 4 bin, Mike. But knowing 1678, this is only the beginning of it. Now that the suns out, how much longer until you let the guns out?

I'm interested in seeing some battles for those bins in auto.

My thoughts exactly.
It gives tuggawar a whole new meaning.

"Slowest 4 RC grabbing auto in California"

Can't wait for CVR!

[JamesYao]

Amazing!!
Have you guys timed how long it takes from the start to initially dragging the containers back?

Can't tell if it's a joke, or you're serious.

I seem to remember something either in a team update or in the Q&A about the landfill being a three dimensional speace which cannot be occupied by a robot during setup. That being said, if your design is legal the world will burn

Nothing to see here....

Mike has said things like "This is the worst catapult in California!" (about their 2x regional, champs division winning robot) to motivate his students.

[Jacob Bendicksen]

From the sounds it makes and the way the RCs are moving, I'd guess that the design unfolds and clamps/hooks onto the handles of the RCs. Can't wait to see this thing!

[Chirag]

I spy a tape measure?

Definitely looking forward to seeing more step contesting auto modes this season.
