I'm guessing 11ft/s with a large double jointed (shoulder and wrist) arm mounted to the tower, maybe powered by paired up Fisher-Prices.

How exactly did you go about making that finish? I really like it and we might have a little extra time tomorrow to pimp out the robot. I was thinking about using a wire wheel and a drill to get a kind of circular brushed finish (we did it on a camera mount last year), but that one looks even nicer.

You can take an aluminum wire brush and buff your whole robot out. =)

Looks very smooth and neat, but my biggest concern is leaving your gearboxes that high and exposed. Are you planning on covering them or at least making sure they don't get smashed during a match?

I'm also very interested to see what kind of manipulator you've developed, especially since your electronics are vertical. From a team that did that once, just make sure they're still easy to get to for simple repairs (like re-soldering wire).
