is it some sort of subliminal message aimed at Paul Copioli?

I was wondering the same thing. Perhaps they are using a CCT?

well, i spotted a cylinder sticking out below a pair of CIMs during a freeze frame...
would i be correct in assuming that 229 is again running a 2-speed 2-motor shift on the fly drive train?

Adrienne and Co.,

Great video. I've been saying this for years, but all FIRST is missing is a little a bit of Jay-Z. I mean, Who you know fresher than Hov', riddle me that?

If this robot really is an encore of 2004, we should all beware of 229. The drive train looks graceful, yet mean. I've come to expect that from John. The extra wide crossbar on the tetra lance will pay huge dividends.

I can't wait to see it this weekend.

P.S. You edited out the part where I run around without my shirt? If you had left that in, you would have had an Oscar. Tsk, Tsk.

Great video and a great robot for sure. Can't wait to see you guys at Nationals... hopefully your pit will be right next to ours again.

Ryan,
Unfortunately, we are not currently signed up for nationals.
We may have a few members there, who will be definitely cheering on the Red, White, and Cyber-Blue!

See you at Boilermaker,
John

Yes, this is true.
We previously admitted using this design.
