Approaching the window to the future.

[gellnick]

Here we see an early prototype of Geordi La Forge’s VISOR being used to control the robot through tracking the driver’s eyes. Field obstructions, however, caused many problems, leading to the GDC declaring the VISOR legal to use.

3847 HP watches in awe as 1323 and 973 takes down their alliance (which included 148) on Einstein.

The Best Fail of 2020?

There was a lot of light interference at the venue. Our actual best fail was during practice matches when our auto locked on to our opponents goal and made 2 shots full field through the switches.

[GaryVoshol]

[Wayne_Doenges]

Whoa! Andy Baker CAN score two hatches and two cargoes, at the same time and still do it legally

[efoote868]

Cheesecake your kitbot alliance into the finals? Why didn’t I think of that.

[cgmv123]

Championship 3 months later?

[PeterR]

[Tomithy]

Watching a robot climb the rocket instead of the hab
