Thanks, see you in a few weeks.

Looks awesome guys! Irvine teams are going to be doing well this year at Inland for sure!

Looks great...it will look even better if we are looking at it next to ours and not looking at it from across the field

[cadandcookies]

Looks like a great robot! And I'm really happy you put a picture of it in your post (it's a bit of a pet peeve of mine when teams just post a link to a video)!

Another well-executed machine from Code Orange. Will be watching how things go down in IE this weekend, best of luck!

I like the use of your guide wheels to throw the bins out of the way. I suspect no few teams will follow you on this now.

I love the actuating side walls. Can't wait to play with you at IE

[hunterteam3476]

I love this Robot! Can't wait to compete with all of you at IE

Your team have done a thorough job of thinking through this simple and elegant design. The execution is beautiful too. I especially like the details such as the polycarb guides for the totes as they load.

Thanks also for posting the electronics training videos.
