No, one belongs to team 330, the BeachBots, and one is ours. I'll Let you guys figure out which one belongs to who.

What's that blue wheel doing on there? Hrrm, must have been a special installation to make the beach bots feel welcome

Well, the rest of us got lazy and didn't want to add more tread onto the wheels. Why not use the wheels from our friends up north?

Erm.. I mean.. uhh.... yes! it was for beachbot!! DONT TELL TEH POOFS!!!

Re: pic: 968 adds bumpers for IRI

Is that why the back wheel has no tread?


Also... this is what amazes me about the beachbots.... That robot (no offense) almost looks as if it were just a mediocre bot, maybe even built by a rookie team.... but it performs on a level most teams can never reach...

Shoot, without those giant yellow targets on the side this one probably could have become national champ!

Good Picture, both teams have wonderful robots,1251 got the pleasure or pain of playing against both of them at IRI. I enjoyed seeing 968/254 and 330 up close not everyday you get to see teams from the west coast here in Florida. Sandrag and the 968/254 crew thanks for bringing the gearbox display to IRI that is what inspiration is all about.

Good luck,
Drew

Of course the first thing anyone from 254 would notice when looking at this picture is that there is a blue wheel on the robot (Look real close, and you can probably see Travis' favorite--the BRIGHT blue AM planetaries )
