Really nice video, really nice robot. I haven’t seen many wide robots with 6 WD, the wheels are so close they’re almost touching!

Heads up: your bumpers as shown here are ILLEGAL as per rule <R35>.

<R35>: Teams shall display their team number on the Bumpers in four locations at approximately 90° intervals around the perimeter of the Robot. The numerals must be at least 4 in. high, at least ¾ in. in stroke width, and be either white in color or outlined in white. Team numbers must be clearly visible from a distance of not less than 100 ft, so that judges, referees, and announcers can easily identify competing Robots.

Question on 2/8/12 by Team 1619:

@Official Q&A

Q. Does R35 limit the team number quantity to exactly four locations? For instance, if one side of the robot has two short bumpers separated by a gap, can the complete team number be put on both of those bumpers? Thus, there’d be two complete team numbers on one side of the robot.
A. Rule [R35] requires that the team number be displayed in four locations, no more or fewer.

Your bumpers appear to display your team number in five locations.

Thank you, our team was aware of the illegal bumper configuration, and made the necessary modifications prior to bagging the robot.
