Something you guys should look at is the numbering rules for the bumpers, specifically the questions in the QandA. You aren't allowed to split the numbers up. so currently your back(and probably your front) bumper is illegal.

Per [R35], team numbers must be clearly visible. This means that they may not be inverted, obscured, fragmented, upside down, etc.

unfortunately we have to change ours also.

Nice Job. Now I too know that we need to change our bumpers.

Team numbers must be clearly visible from a distance of not less than 100 ft, so that judges, referees, and announcers can easily identify competing Robots. I am not sure that "Clearly Visible" means they can not be split up. Am I missing some more rules on the topic. This is the first year we are splitting our number up, but I recall seeing it done before. Anymore info on this from teams who have attempted it in the past would be very helpful.

That's probably a far more interesting, informative discussion.

Nice robot! I wonder what those wheels up front (the once sticking up) do? Are they perhaps for picking up balls or to aid in balancing?

You know you've built a magnificent, well-directed bot when the untidiest feature of the bot is the wrinkles on the bumpers

What kind of motor are you using on your extending arm on the front? We have one on our robot that is eerily similar but we're having issues finding a lightweight motor that is strong enough to exert 18 pounds of force.
