This video is amazing!

Team 1114 has been fortunate enough to have the support of Innovation FIRST since 2008, and has been using the sheet metal facilities since 2009. This year we sent 21 distinct parts (I know, we're slackers compared to 148. ) to the Robowranglers on Sunday afternoon. These models were prepped and sent to the sheet metal shop on Monday morning. They arrived at Governor Simcoe SS on Thursday at 5:00 PM. (Even more impressive considering that pesky international border which separates our teams.) The quick turn around and high quality parts are astounding. IFI is definitely the coolest sponsor we have ever had and are immensely thankful for everything they and the folks at Metal Solutions do for us.

Thanks to John and the rest of Robowrangler crew for putting this together. The posted CAD models of Tumbleweed and Tornado, the whitepaper on the Engineering Design Process and this video are shining examples of why John and crew are role models for us all.

P.S. Now this video is what I call a 5 star teaser!
