Are those really zip ties on your wheels?

I'd like it if someone could first q + a that, since our MENTOR (glances at mr park) doesn't know the password...

Nice job - can I have it? :c)
zipties on your wheels are ok. lots of teams use them to allow skid steering - the rule is you cant damage the carpet or playfield. zipties are nylon- not a problem.

Great idea with the pneumatic lift on the arm at the base. We didn't think of that. (putting that on the shelf of good ideas)
Other than that we have a similar design.
How are you controlling the movement of the arms? Joystick? Pots? Switches?
Looks like it should be a fun year to walk thru the pits
Luck to all, you can sleep this coming weekend

- Joysticks (inversed y-axes) for the elbow and wrist
- Toggle-programmed joystick switches (triggers and thumb switches) for the claw and base cylinder
- POV hat for the scissor lift
