As far as we know it's no flaw of our robot.

Every metal surface that is anything other than totally smooth is covered with roughtop tread.

From watching the videos again, it seemed like the balls were popping whenever we were being pushed into something by other robots either very hard, or at high speed.

Since they weren't putting new balls out, and were just taping up the old ones from what I could see from the stands/other side of the field, I think that also had something to do with it. The tape was probably just blowing off the holes whenever the ball got compressed between our robot and said stationary object.

Re: pic: 254 silicon valley regional moving shot

the bumpers really hurt the robot's beauty. Still looks phenomenal and now I'm quite mad for missing SVR and this robot.

Re: pic: 254 silicon valley regional moving shot

Did you guys ever name your 2008 robot? It looked like some kind of alien; very threatening looking mouth parts...

It looks like something the Covenant would build.

Our robot's name is Barricade, we named it after the GT-500 from the Transformers movie.

Re: pic: 254 silicon valley regional moving shot

that is one hell of a robot. Beautiful to say the least.
I agree that bumpers take away from the beauty and craftmanship of the bot.
We felt the same way about ours, but they are necessary.
Our robot took some lickens in the front where there is no bumper.
We plan to add one now since it hits our claws when hitting a wall.
