2nd this, love how simple your tote manipulator is, the hinges and flat lexan make it really really simple.

I also heart 4039, simple robots every year, great branding, awesome team.

Couple those with a bunch of really creative and dedicated students and great things can happen!

It is truly amazing that your team has done so much (so well) with "so little". Truly great engineering.

Not even for a box of TimBits and some bottles of Mountain Dew?

FIRST NEEDS to get this song on their playlist for when Roy takes to the field!

I think the masses need a 10 hour loop of ROY G BIV
