Thanks for the kind words Drew. The photo was another one of our 12:30 AM affairs, which seem to happen almost every other day.

Here's some quick specs:
6WD drop center
Custom 3-CIM two-speed dog shifting transmission, geared for 17 ft/sec and 7 ft/sec
Auto shifting code
Spring loaded launcher shoots from 7-17 feet away.
Ratcheting choo-choo mechanism driven by two Mini CIMs at 61:1. Resets in <1sec.
Truss toss and self-catch
Rear intake driven by two BaneBots 550 motors.
Soft ground eject for passing.
Two ball autonomous.
Can shove Code Orange around, even with their drop down ca..whoops.

With everything we wanted on it, it came out to 124.3 lbs. We may ditch the side wings in favor of keeping the 6-CIM drive.

Oh, and there's one last thing I should mention. The robot in the photo is actually our practice bot. We would never use blue tubing on a comp bot.
