Glad you guys got back on the field.
Thank you for the cool wheel/gyro medallion.

The buttons are just based off the robot's names, Ixion.(ps, the victor that caught fire controlled the gyro.)

Ixion was expelled from Olympus and blasted with a thunderbolt. Zeus ordered Hermes to bind Ixion to a winged fiery wheel that was always spinning;[7] only when Orpheus played his lyre did it stop for a while. Therefore, Ixion is bound to a burning solar wheel for all eternity, at first spinning across the heavens,[8] but in later myth transferred to Tartarus (Kerenyi 1951:160).

We can't even begin to express our gratitude to everyone there for helping us when our hopes went up in flames. To get back into the competition was the best award we could have gotten. Thank you all so much.
That gyro medallion idea came from one of our member's dad. The same guy who made the real thing, got bored at his shop one day and just stared making them to scale out of scraps. Commercial production cost of each one, ~$60-70.
