Great job Apex!
Should be an amazing rookie year for you.

Hopefully I'll see you all at PNW.

You have a sweet video and robot. I like that you took the time to make sleek looking bumpers for outreach purposes! Never would have occurred to me, but they really add something.

I really love this robot and the members of 5803 should be really proud of their efforts.

This video has become one of my favorite reveals from a quality perspective you guys did a fantastic job on the production side! Can't wait to see more in the future!

Thanks for the compliments! We made practice bumpers for a few reasons:

1. We do have a practice robot (which is actually what is driving in the video), and we expect bumpers to get beat up in both practice and competition, so we figured it would help to spread the punishment around.
2. Since this team had never built bumpers before, it was very useful to learn how to build them properly on the non-competition set. We learned a lot about how to wrap the fabric tight and how to place the numbers so that they're most visible and line up correctly!
3. We were really inspired by the look of 118's "show bumpers" and thought it was a fantastic way to have something for when we show off the robot to sponsors and the community to help with team recognition and branding.

Nice looking bot and a great reveal video!!
I am looking forward to working with you on the field and off at Auburn MV and Central.

Best of luck to you!
