The SAGA of the build...
Brainstorming started immediately after the kickoff, and the mentors really got innvolved. By the middle
of the first build week, we had a conceptual design, and were fast on the way to a coplete drive train when someone (we won't
say who) suggested 4 wheel drive instead of two wheel drive, then a wand instead of a hook, then a sucker instead of a shelf,
then tread in addition to the pneumatics. Things got really weird...

Naming the Robot?!?!?
We had a naming contest, needless to say, some of the names would have gotten us kicked out of the competition.
We really can't go into the names, but they ranged from PANTHEROTIC, to T-BOT 2.0 to some others that were absolutely
wrong!!!
Finally, we arrived at PANTHERA ROBOTICA. The outline of the school mascot is drilled
into the frame, and the other side has panther paws going up.
