It finally got my entire team all on the same page as me and one of my drivers with respect to our Champs strategy. It was definitely easier to make the robot changes and have a very good streak of matches on Friday with the whole team's backing.

Nope, it was meant as a friendly joke to the Poofs. We often joke about how pretty their robots are and they often joke about how... not pretty ours are.

I didn't get to St Louis in time to enjoy this presentation. But 1296 will take the time to study the videos - thanks so much for putting this together!

Would anyone happen to know where to find the video?

Any updates on this? I've browsed around a bit, can't seem to find anything.

I know it sounds preposterous, but some of us still aren't over the fatigue from last week . 15-16 hour days on your feet will do that. Be patient, I'm sure it's coming soon.

Truth. I think 1114's robot this year was one of the prettiest I have ever seen.

I also love lobster. Totally unrelated.

Sorry, but you beat the Poofs as the "belle of the ball" this year!

On the other hand, ours got jankier as the year went on.
