3 major hints eh?

It appears that you are using both the drills and both the cims for your drivetrain.

The pnuematics in the middle look like they are for some sort of wings to help herd the balls.

What other hints am I missing?

Your battery appears to be labeled "FISSION". Given that the standard battery uses a simple reduction-oxidation reaction, I'm quite curious. Did you check the flowchart to make sure fission reactors are allowed?

Seriously, though, that is one nice-looking robot. Good job.

I'm very confused as to what the whole mechanism at the top is.

It's a pnuematic that is rotated by the window motor, but what does it do and why is it attatched with zip ties and what's with the glove? There's more to come I hope.

Haha

actually the reason for the glove might have something to do with the "why is it there"

why zip ties
we are waiting for some BIMBA D-241 (i think) brackets.

the motors were one.

yup

the subject of that sentence is way off, the other half is right, although not shown in the pic


This pretty funny. Maybie the picture is more deceiving than i thought it would be when i posted it.
