Actually we won't name it 'Twitch' because that's a 1565 trademark, but when we talk about the design, programming and controls we use 'twitch' as a verb every 10 seconds or so

As with any revision 2, there are upgrades and new problems, so we won't realize the fun aspects until it's fully functional. If everything stays on schedule, next weekend we'll see it operating on near-identical conditions on an ice skating rink...

sweet! I'm so proud!

Any chance I can see what you did differently? (you already explained it in PM but a pic will be worth more than that lol.)

Pictures will come soon, very soon...and probably more on our website more than CD. We had to do some (seemingly) magical rearrangement to get the compressor, cRIO and battery to fit within the bottom area there. The CAD says that there's still room for the pistons, but I'm always a bit antsy until I see something when it's that close.
