It looks like you weren't able to finish it, am I correct? What are it's strong points?

I'm assuming one camera is for driving, and the other is for vision tracking?

Mind detailing on how you've got them both set up?

I see what looks like a Raspberry pi behind the radio, probably for vision processing by the camera in the white housing (has a light ring). I'm surprised the targeting camera isn't connected directly to the pi by USB; the pi seems to have only a network connection. It looks like the RoboRIO was removed for bagging. There seems to be a battery box on the photo right side (near the SRXs), so the RIO presumably fits where you can see a fair bit of belly pan and disconnected wires (near the radio).

I see rhino tread, so presumably a sapper robot as a primary function.

The rollers seem to be designed for a simple intake/return to score low goals. I don't see how they reach outside the frame perimeter, so this may require some precision driving for boulder pickup - especially tricky as I don't see any sign of a camera at that end. I'm guessing the chassis is 26-28" wide to admit a boulder through the gap in the bumpers (here implemented in clear plastic). With the additional width of real bumpers, that may present a problem getting onto the batter.

The wiring bundles are cringe worthy but hopefully that can get cleaned up
