What did your robot sacrifice for First Frenzy?

Well, we decide to pass on manipulation of the 2X balls. (as well as the 10 point balls)

Out main attention is to hanging, and a strong/fast drivetrain.

The idea is to build a solid base deisign for future years. Yes, this is perhaps NOT the srt of game that requires powerful, but THIS was the year for us to do that work.

I hope to see some of you at the Manchester NH BAE Regionals!
