Never before have I seen a recycling bin get RKOed.

To Mr. Johnston and his list of good robots (from Scouting Mentor at 3663): Our lists are amazingly similar. Good to know we're seeing the same things. I know you think 1114 and 148 are great - maybe you mentioned them in an earlier list. I know you had 4450 as an "almost" really good bot. I would put them up there with some of the others you mentioned on the first list. They were completely reliable in eliminations, doing two 5 stacks with container and noodle each match. Many of the really good bots don't do noodles - which are the equivalent of another tote on a capped 5 stack - making it like a capped 6 stack.

We'll be watching the can-burgling carefully. Speed and amount of cans will be very important.

Looking forward to seeing you and your team soon! - Kristi

Hopefully our new grabbers will be up to the task!

If anyone wants a complete tote harvesting mechanism, we'll have one available in our pits. Mounts to a kit chassis. We only see cans now.

The return of the tape measure!

842 - How good are you at picking up cans on their sides? That seems like that is going to be a big deal, too. Most of the robots that pull cans leave them on their sides. That's fine, but only if the puller or its partners can pick up the can and use it. Well, of course, there is the whole can deprivation aspect that is useful against one's opponents, too.

I suppose we'll show what we can do during matches, but that's basically all we've been practicing for the past 4 weeks. Ignoring the totes puts a new perspective on things.

Entirely possible, but Newton's really killin' it right now! Super impressive scores! They could really give curie and carson a run for their money.

Anticipate wacky canburglar battles tomorrow.
