Yeah, we got nervous every time it climbed up the pyramid. It fell off once during the Colorado quarterfinals from the second rung, and all that was damaged was a bent bolt. We joke that was the only reason our team won the Quality Award that year.

Some of the scariest robots I've ever seen include:

• 1678 in 2015. How on Earth did you all get those can grabbers to be so fast?
• 2122 in 2016. They were scary simply because they would give you a preview of what their next big feature would be at their next regional.
• 195 in 2016. I stand by my argument that they had the most accurate and effective two-ball auto this season.
• 3418 in 2016. See this video.
