Wish you guys were coming to Colorado again this year! Would’ve loved to see Dark Matter!

I seent videos of this guy. Very impressive robot. Should definitely be pretty dominant on the field as long as it doesn’t get crushed in a car accident. (too soon?)

Aaaaaaand the Orlando hype only builds. It’s a very short list of Tigers that I root for, but I can’t wait to see this machine up close.

This is a pretty sick robot. I’m actually really sad I won’t get to see it in person this year.
