You didnt even share the most impressive attribute of this robot.
The fact that it fits in a VEX size container as a check in luggage to compete in Arizona.
Post that Twitter pic!

Good luck this season.

Thanks!

Well, we're not GREAT at it. It got done. But we had a dedicated area for electronics and just played with it (in various forms) until we knew how it'd fit. Then cut panel, put it all on, and done.

The robot is small, but because the ball never enters the perimeter we actually had a nice space to put everything.
