This is probably my favorite robot to ever be built by Team 696. I love the swerve drive and I can't wait until LA to see it in action.

That's a very pretty robot, and it looks like it will do very well too!

Good luck at competition.

This thing is gorgeous, I love all the welding work you guys have done, and the disk brake is just pretty. Best of luck this season.

Beautiful work again 696! Last year at Chezy Champs was the first time I got up close to a 696 machine and its hard not to be blown away by how much work you guys put into even the smallest details.

[David Guzman]

This robot looks awesome!! I can't wait to see all the little details in person at the Las Vegas Regional.

That swerve module looks very impressive.
