As always, the deadline is nominally Saturday at midnight Eastern.

Go!

The robotics team suddenly decides to build a go-kart during Week 4.

No offense to the kid but if he wants to actually have a chance at getting the lift bonuses at the end of the match he’s going to have to start going to a gym that isn’t in a pokemon game.

What we all didn’t realize at the time was this was clearly a game hint for a game years in the future: The shoes on the left are clearly made of retro-reflective material

Purely autonomous, best low rung scoring robot of Rack 'n Roll.

In 2012 we played the entire season with a wrench stuck in our chassis. But nothing like this.

Little Timmy always dreamt of being a major part of a winning robotics team. He just never dreamt of being a major part of a robot.

Never fall asleep at a robotics lab, or you will have a robot built around you.

If he goes on a diet, he might make the 120# weight limit. (He’s already started swiss-cheesing his jeans.) But implementing 4wd is going to be tough.

They sold their control system and motors to get enough money to convince the inspectors to pass them. It was not a bribe. They were very clear about that.

“Now I see the problem, it’s right here!”
While it is important to become one with your robot, it is not necessary for you to completely tear it down to find a minor problem.
(Max, we can’t be bought…but we can be rented.LOL)

Like most teams, 538 will build a robot out of anything that stands still long enough to be bolted on.

This version was great on batteries, but very poor at responding to the drive team’s plans.

Sorry about the delay, guys. I worked late and more or less flopped into the bed!
