Looks nice! I look forward to competing with you guys at SVR.

What's the time to go from ground to top goal scoring height?

It looks a lot lighter in the pictures than it actually is in person. We vastly prefer it to the navy that it was last year. Im told that the 2005 and 2004 bots looked almost the same color when they first came back from the paint shop, and over time darkened up, so we'll see.

Yup, we got tired of other robots ending up inside of ours, because of having such a low base, so we'll have polycarb side shields to prevent that this year.

Are you worried about problems with the inertia of the lift moving it that far, that fast?

They just made those for fun. The real machine is back there sitting on the bench

We'll see, once we actually have a robot that works we plan on having preset buttons for each row, so Im sure if it's an issue we can have it slow down as it approachess the correct height,
