This post might make our robot sound not so great but I wanted to give you guys facts, not hopes and dreams. Not sure how we'll do on the grand stage but I guess we'll see. I would probably pick us in the second round of choosing partners as of right now. However, we may move up to a top pick once the new gripper is installed.
