Interesting how so there are so few videos of 2001.
Here's the only one I've found with bees in it:

It's from our old website. Our new website is very behind on creating pages for old robots, so they haven't linked to it yet.
That's a match on einstein, I dont know if it was semis or finals.

Its fun looking back at past robots and seeing just how simple yet effective they were. This one had four drive motors, 2 FP and 2 drill, two claws (yellow side and purple side), and a small arm to lower the ramp.
