We're on the same page as you guys. Seeing the amazing things that teams have being doing this year with ball transportation and traction control has inspired us to raise our personal bar that much more. For example, I know that seeing and hearing about 2809's awesome traction control system made our programmers focus that much more. This is co-opertition at it's best, teams learning from each other and constantly trying to raise their performance to a higher standard.

And as JNo said, the robot is never done. It's all about continuous reevaluation and improvement.
