If you can call it a reveal, reveal. Didn't get as much footage as i would have liked to (Being the one driving the robot). However, I hope you enjoy the little I did get.

Wow, the lights on the wheels look great. Why did you decide to only do 3 wheel instead of 4 wheel holonomic?

[LordMvfp]

Thanks :) its the first year our team has a lighting system. And there are a couple of planned reasons for 3 wheel. The team wanted a bot different from the norm square/rectangle bot, and three wheels made it so that we didn't have to either add a suspension system or balance out the wheels. Some unseen advantages is it drives more fluidly than mecanum and since the robot is a triangler shape that moves in any direction its super easy to push the ball into the low goal. Oh almost forgot it looks epic :D

Good job guys. Love the shape of the robot. It is always fun to see new shapes and designs.:cool:

So how well does the arm work? Do you always need to push the ball up against a wall?

It doesn't look like it has too.

the arms work quite nicely, and ya we can pick up from anywhere.
