Awesome. These are great robots, and I'm looking forward to seeing your team compete.

I have a couple of questions:
1. Will you have numbers on all sides of Fetchy, or just the front?
2. What material are you using to encase the power wires to Fetchy?
3. What motors are being used on Fetchy?
4. What gauge wire is being used for each of these motors?
5. How long is the tether?
6. Have you tested driving over the tether with 120lb robots?

Although there are many unpowered ramps in FRC, there aren't too many powered tetherbots, so I am curious to learn more about them. Especially since I know you guys have been developing this system since before the Robowranglers release video.

Sweet!

Glad someone tactically made litter control a part of their robot.

Will there be a webcast?
Please?

Our robot used to have simple, passive polycarbonate noodle pickup mechanisms at the front of our forks. They worked, but kept breaking in practice, so we opted not to use them. Our reveal video this year shows the vestiges of those broken pieces if you look closely. This is a much cooler and elegant design. I thought this robot couldn't get any more epic, but you've proved me wrong!
