Re: pic: West Coast Collaborationz and Team 254 Present
"if it ain't broke, don't fix it..."
After a typically successful 2004 season, it looks Team 254 made the decision to stick with what works. At this year's kickoff I predicted that many of the top 2004 teams would only make slight changes to their robots and modify their end effectors to pick up tetras. Team 254 is a perfect example of this phenomena.
Considering the similarities to their 2004 robot, I'm sure this version was completed pretty early in the build, allowing for more practice and tweaking. A good robot, heavily tweaked with practiced drivers usually goes very far.
Great work. Can't wait to see it in Atlanta.
