Okay guys, Here i am at Chicago for the Midwest regional and Beatty has unleashed the beast. So here is the run down. They are a tall bot with a lot of functions. At the beggining of the day they only had a 2X ball grabber, and a goal grabber. However, i talked to them and asked what was to come. They said they were still adding the hanger, and an apparatus to catch the balls from the drop. At the end of the day, it looked like all things were relatively together.

Summary: awesome fast bot with tons of features.

Good luck 71, looks great.
And good luck to anybody who has to face them.

I knew it, Team Hammond built a self-propelled trash can!

Hmm... I guess it can't get on the bar this year then, or get small or big balls, eh? Heheh.

But you forget the grappling hook! They obiously use a flying magentic hook thing to hang on the bar.

Dear Team Hammond,

Please accept my apologies for "Dr. Bot's" outburst; he must have forgotten to take his medication again.

I know I speak for ALL members of team 254 when I say that we would much rather play with you than against you. You run a top notch program and consistently build some of the best robots in the country.

Here's wishing you good luck throughout the season and hoping that we are lined up on the same side of the field.

Actually, as a member of Team 254 I would love to play either with or against Beatty. To face them in competition would be a tremendous and exciting challenge. Good luck to all.

well, watching them in a match at chicago, they capped while going up to hang, very impressive.
