College is weird because there isn't anyone to nerd out about this stuff with.

Look harder
There are a number of college level competitions that draw very similar crowds to what you'll find in FIRST, as well as just a lot of other "Maker" students that enjoy building. I didn't have FIRST in my area when I was in high school, and didn't feel like I was about to "nerd out" with others until college.
OP: Amazing looking robot. With the large transport configuration this year, teams have been given more real estate to push the boundaries of strength/weight. I know we build many things 5-10x stronger than it needs to be, and are less limited by weight than overall complexity and time. To see a team get so much robot (physically) into the 120lb limit shows a heck of a lot of optimization went into it... carving away every ounce of un-needed weight, and a lot of thought on the minimum parts needed to accomplish your design. I'd love to see a recap of that design process after championships if you'd be willing to share specifics.
