The Video
I liked your robot before I even saw it, because we too named our robot Valkyrie
But seriously, very nice robot.
2054 looking as solid as ever. I love the frisbee flipper and the snow shovel. I hope to have a great debut competition at Gull Lake perhaps on the same alliance Saturday afternoon.
What comps are you guys going to?
They are going to Gull Lake and West Michigan.
I don’t think those castrating rings are legal - and its not just some FIRST rule, either. I have some of those out in my barn, and right on the package it says “FOR ANIMAL USE ONLY”. (That is for real!)
Congratulations on another great looking machine that is built to play the game. See you at West MI.
For the record, I was suggesting “green Cheerios” to my team for our collector. Really grippy.
does who ever name the robot disc golf?
