Thank you all for your kind thoughts and words.
A lot of work, as usual, has gone into this year's robot.
See you all in competition and may the best robot win!

Yeah, 2000 was technically a flopper too, but we only did that in a handfull of matches, where the 04 and 05 bots had to flop to start.

There haven't been too many flopper bots in the game, but I know of two of them that were on national championship aliances. Ours in '05, and Beatty's in... I believe that was '03. You know the one that grabbed all 3 goals and then used file cards on it's slow march across the field.

Right game wrong year. Beatty was in '01

Edit: wrong again, it was 02, thanks guys. I should know this, too, I've watched those videos waaaay too many times

Right game, wrong year as well. Their flopbot was 2002, the year of Zone Zeal. (Partial credit, however; Beatty did also win the Championship in 2001, just not with a flopbot.)

The new one looks great by the way.

First of their kind as in the first flopbots? I'm not sure if there were any flopbots from before 2000, but I know more than just 67 and 71 flopped in 2000 (116 also did, among several others).

Wow, I just saw video from the great lakes regional and this machine looks like a beast. I especially love the lift system on it. I definitely will be watching out for the "Hotbot" in Atlanta. Good luck team 67!

Wow! Fantastic job! Now try to lift a 300-wheelchair+occupant system and tell me how you do!
