Thanks Brandon, there are some great robots here and now we can get our questions answered.

Wow, collaborative design really pays off, hopefully it'll motivate some people around here to attempt it. I really love the idea, 3 teams are better than one (thats why we have alliances)

• Look at the PVC on the hoppers! Thats pretty cool I like how you guys can both pick balls up off the ground and throw them in. But could you enlighten us how the balls get from inside the robot up into the shooter?
• Are those FP's in dewalt's on the shooters?
• Are specs on the drive train available? By the look of it treads are used on all of them, but I'd like to know the speeds and gearbox specs you used.
• Anyone besides 1680 using the camera?
• When did you take this picture, and how long was it until you had your first robot built and working?
• Does collaborative build take longer than a single team's build?
