The FRC equivalent of a microphone drop?

I love that wrist. It's pure mechanical poetry. For 2015, this is the definition of versatile utility bot. Plug and play in any role, at any location, and be exceptional.

Surprisingly, there's some stuff here that functionally resembles another 2015 bot I may or may not be particularly familiar with...

Amazing job, as always, guys! Looking forward to seeing it in action on the field.

Another masterpiece by 118. Very well done.

Certain super teams I like to personally evaluate the robots they submit through a sheet I have to dissect the design. It helps with my scouting information, this being said...
Every year I set out a scale which I try and use to measure the ability of super teams. Every year you guys come in and throw that scale on its head. I don't even know why I try anymore. You guys consistently blow my mind with your design.

Definitely not! Just be ready to play hard (Not that we don't have to do that anyway).

Another Robonaut unveil video, another song for the playlist...

The entire robot is a marvel of engineering beauty, as always. I'm really excited to see this thing up close.

I'm glad to see your 2 can grabber is successful. People told us to build an autonomous can grabber, but we misunderstood what they meant.

Is it bad that I've watched this like 20 times repeatedly and I still haven't gotten over how amazing it is?
To quote the absolutely perfect song from the vid, "It's gold, fool" <3
