Re: pic: 4451 2015 Robot for TBA

I email back and forth a lot with Mike Bryan, 4451's lead mentor, and from the tone of those emails around late January I feared this was going to be a second short season for ROBOTZ Garage. But sure enough, this thing wins Palmetto as the first pick of the draft, gets silver in Orlando as the first pick of the draft, and it's only had a few clutch-playoff-match jitters with its stacking all season long.

They've teased me on Twitter* about Championship improvements, and I hope I can run over to Archimedes from Hopper to see what they've cooked up.

* That Mutombo graphic seems to be the magic touch for them; it was on their blocker in 2013 when they had their two-regionals-and-Championship Rookie All-Star run with an Orlando silver kicker, it was on their B entry at SCRIW last year that went from non-existent to #1 seed in less than a week...now what?!
