Someone should hold off season competitions in which we use previous years' robots to compete in this years challenge.

I'm guessing the little robot that moved away from the frame helped start that stack?

That little robot sure looks a lot like their 2003 robot...

I'm looking forward to (and slightly scared of) seeing 67's robot for this year.

That is amazing. Gets a guy to wonder...

Guys, that was awesome. Regardless of feasibility, that sure seems like a hell of a fun way to place the game pieces this year. Tote/bin cannon stacker ftw. Lol.

Wow - that is incredible! But can you duplicate the results?

Here's their design document for their 2014 robot. It goes into great detail, and is pretty much mandatory reading, imo.
