Re: pic: Team 81 Official Teaser

Wow, just wow. A few things i noticed:
1) at least one of the Densos appears to have a 3 pronged boomerang on it...no clue what that's for

2) There is more to this robot than is shown. it appears to extend off the right side of the picture, presumably where the collector mechanism is (powered by the Globe)

3) 2 treaded wheels and on treaded drum are visible through the cutouts in the turret

and now for my question: Why do you need a turret with holonomic drive? By definition, holonomic can rotate whilst translating? I understand that the collection mechanism can only face one direction, but it still seems redundant. I'm sure i'm about to be proved wrong tho. Good job guys!
