Thanks for the comments,

We will be attending the Florida Regional and the Palmetto Regional. We will go to Atlanta only if we win our way in.

Questions are welcome.

Considering that 1251 hasn't either been a finalist or champion at only one regional since 2005 (that one being Florida 2006), I like those odds.

Good luck to y'all this season--it looks great! (And for a Gamecock, it's awful hard for me to say that about something orange.)

Billfred you know your stuff,but hey who's counting finalist and semifinalist right? David and Kev I like the font on the picture very cool. One fact Dave failed to mention about the robot drive system is that it is modular. One side can be removed by loosening 12 bolts and be quickly replaced.

Great looking bot guys!
Can't wait to see it in action.
Are you going to post a video, or just leave us in suspense? hehe

Very nice looking lift! It reminds me a lot of 254/968 last year...

The drive base looks solid too...

Great job guys!

Hey what do you know... you are right.

Here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=nx-SuV4p8Rk

Did we mention there will be two of these at the UCF regional?

We made twins with 408, their robots name is "hungry jack"

This was actually posted by team 408. I am guessing it came from a phone judging by the quality. This was the first time the robot was driven with the claw and the elevator functioning.

Re: pic: Team 1251, 08 Robot

Definitely not a coincidence, the elevator was inspired by their 2007 robot.
