So, our competition robot in Atlanta was a "hybrid" of the original robot and the GTR "One-Day Wonder". With the significant changes, we weren't quite ready for "prime-time" on our Friday qualification matches, but performed much better in our two final qual matches on Saturday.
We were asked to do the same thing by 70 and 1114. Off came 17 lbs. of high-mounted camera, launcher, and tilt motor assemblies, all with modular power and signal connections we will soon restore, and on went 17 lbs. of Canadian-supplied solid steel bars to our base frame. The result was one fun bot to throw around in the Curie eliminations.

Needless to say, 1114 won't be getting their steel back until after IRI, and only if they ask nicely. *shameless self-promotion alert* Potential IRI suitors, please keep us in mind if you're looking for a strong defensive partner.
