I'm not surprised 190 has the most Xerox creativity awards, it seems every year they build something real out of the box that is just plain neat. Sometimes it excels (see 2007), and sometimes it falls flat (see 2005), but it is always neat to watch their crate open!

Yah, whenever they tipped over in auto, my grandfather would turn to me and say, "When will they ever learn that that won't work." But what made their first time up even more impressive/awesome was that whenever they did make it up and grab hold with their arm, they got stuck.

Does anyone know how far up 233 went on the bar? I never got to see that robot but 190 also went up so that they could grab on with a mechanism on the top of their robot.

Oh, and when 501 came up under 190 and snapped a lexan wing in half so get up, that was pretty funny.
