PS - For anyone who followed my build journal on facebook, the ball magnet is the "System #5" I kept cursing during week 2 and 3.

You mean "any team with sponsors like IFI who can cut all their parts for them in a couple of days so they have plenty of time to prototype."

Try designing and prototyping an entire robot in two weeks, and then working with a team of amateur machinists and welders (many of whom don't know the imperial system of units ) and NONE of whom have any experience with tools...

You build a bot that way, and then I’ll be impressed…

No but seriously, I'm freaking impressed
