They had 4 cims and 4 mini cims. You can have a total of 6 cims and 4 mini cims on the robot.
These crews built their robots with the intention of not sticking to the rule limitations. If you noticed, they used illegal electronics too.

Thanks for doing this again! I learned so much from these and I have shared it with both of the teams I work with.
The day 3 interviews made me laugh. RI3D 1.0 looks ready for RI2D.
What are you talking about? They specifically state in their videos that they use all completely FRC legal parts, and follow all the rules… What is the point of doing this if they break the rules?
If you are being sarcastic, well, don’t. Text is a horrible medium for bad sarcasm.
Boom Done got my vote, with team O-RYON with a very close 2nd.
Really awesome job by all teams. I only wish Indiana wasn’t in a state of emergency so we could see the final version of AndyMark’s cam launcher.
Between these four teams and the VEXPro Build Blitz, you all have helped so many teams so far.
Thank you for your long hours in order to put these robots together!
I for one think these robots should play some matches together at IRI or another off season event to really put them though their paces. So with the exception of AndyMark for an extra day, none of the other five should touch their robots until then.
Not only have these three/four robots served a great service to the community in terms of process and specific designs, but I wonder if Boom Done stumbled upon a way to recruit/train new mentors. According to one of the interviews, nearly all of Boom Done had no FIRST experience before Saturday. I would think having a super intense 3 day build season with a legendary FIRST mentor would be pretty inspiring and serve as an invaluable FIRST training for a professional engineer. I’d be curious to hear if any of their team decides to mentor a FIRST team after their three day build season.
I should have been clearer.
Mechanically speaking, most, if not all, of the parts are legal and designed for implementation on FRC bots.
If you noticed though in Ri3D 1.0, they used a Sasquatch robot controller as their primary device for robot control, which is not allowed in the rules. They also used illegal electronics on last year’s bot as well.
Anyway, this really isn’t too relevant, as the mechanical designs and their implementations are perfectly legal.
I think team Ri3D 1.0 would love to play a match against the other teams. But in the spirit of Gracious Proffesionalism we’d really hate to embarrass them when our robot shows them up. #OhSnapNoHeDidnt
/edit As some people tend to be very literal, this post was meant to be taken in jest. And that the other teams may see this and they in turn would “throw down.” Thus ending in a match sometime in the off season.
I’d like to see AndyMark’s finished robot. I doubt they’ll be able to (they probably have other commitments)
Challenge Accepted!!
Team O-Ryon would love for that. We’d say give AndyMark an extra 24 hours or so to finish their robot and some time for everyone to make bumpers and we all could meet up for a friendly competition.
Since 3 of the 72 hour robots were built in Texas it seems only fair that we should host this event. 
Texas Robot Round-Up in August or Robot Remix in Oct/Nov?
IRI would be acceptable as well.
Stop. This is an “if pigs had wings, they could fly” type statement.
Could the GDC reverse field and add an End Game? Yes, they would be within there “rights” as a GDC. Are they going to? NO! The GDC is not going to add an End Game. It is not going to happen.
Don’t waste time and energy on things that are very very very very VERY unlike and also impossible to plan for anyway because there is always going to be SOME End Game that will make ANY design choice the wrong one.
Move on.

BOOM DONE.'s goal was to build a robot that could pass inspection. The only violation I know of is the indicator light that the field uses to tell the status of the CRIO. Other than that, I think we could pass inspection.

All of these entries were very impressive. I really like these videos as they give you an idea of how a completed robot interacts with the field and game pieces early on in the season and makes planning for strategy a little less hand wavy.
Thank you to the teams for all of the hard work that you’ve put in over the past 3 days. You are doing a ton to help the community and inspire both students and other mentors. Keep fighting the good fight!
+1! And by the way, Dr. Joe, what tape/wrap did you use on your acquisition wands (torro sticks)?
Good job all of you, very impressive!
This will help a lot of teams head in a productive direction.
Not necessarily copy a design, but inspire them to think of somthing they hadn’t considered.
Cheers to Ri3D teams
Sorry you don’t agree with my opinion on this. But it has not changed and based on posts in previous threads that I had not read prior to today, I am not the only one. However if this type of thing helps even one team then you got what you were going for. Cad drawings and a BOM will be even more helpful for teams.
Glad I was wrong, rewatched on my computer (originally on phone) and I can just see that 2nd finger.
