You have a really hot husband.

I like the crossbow device. It looks like a very well-balanced bot.

oye ty, it IS hot. it shows off so much, all that orange and blue....but he's mine so don't even think about it.

the crossbow was originally something useful for our bot but we broke off the extensions too many times while playing around with the bot so we took the ends and made it into a crossbow.

you see that heart on the back? that's announcing our wedding date.

we finished thursday night, we had a prob at the scrimmage b/c we couldn't lift the heavier tetras (ex: the vision tetra) but we put some surgical tubing on the back and it's just peachy now. we did really well at the scrimmage too =)

ooooh sigmacat! good luck neha, gorgeous bot, that looks totally professional, compact, and finished-off!
just out of curiosity, what are the orange posts on the front of the bot for? i can't tell if they are part of the machine or not.

they're for auto mode -- we'll be using them to hit the hanging-by-magnet (for lack of better words) tetras off and then go on to do w/e else we wanted to do.
i have more pics here and they are clearer...ignore the first few pics.
