Very nice, the intake shaking is pretty cool. Is it designed to stay deployed the whole match? Love the polycarb.

Thank you so much!

Yes, perma-depolyed. We did some stress testing on the intake, and the flexibility allows for the arms to flex sideways and return to their original position!

Great looking robot, I am always impressed how your team can pull off such awesome robots that you can see through.

Thank you!

Each year we try to push it a little further, and we definitely put in 110% this year, and I'm very proud of everything we've accomplished as a team.

Awesome machine!

The drivetrain looked different from most I've seen. Any specs?

We kept it clean and simple this year with a 6-CIM single-speed 4wd system, and we used 4" Andymark HiGrip wheels.

Wow. Looks fast. Can't wait to see y'all at lake superior.
