I posted this quickly for the CAD team last night at our meeting, and didn't have time to add a few details. This is the simplest robot we have built in my tenure at 177, it has only 7 motors and no pnuematics or vacuum system. It also uses mostly off the shelf/kit parts, and rather than the drive modules from the last few years that we've used we're using our "East Coast drive".

You're one of the few to catch on to this hidden competion going on to see who can be first to collect them all. 25 had a chance either last year or in 2007 to get Galileo and complete the set.

We also have the 2001 Galileo trophy from the inaugural year of divisions.

The similarity to 148 is amazing but I assure you we both worked independently to the same conclusions before we knew what each other was doing, Same thing for Gael Force, 126, who has a slight variation of this concept. At Suffield Shakedown 126 and ourselves were admiring each others machines and the different ways we accomplished the same tasks.
