Arm position powered by a RS-550 through a 300:1 reduction
4 orange BaneBot wheels powered by a BAG motor through a 9:1 reduction

Sheet metal flanges to help position ball
4 rubber bumpers acted as hard stops

We already competed at our only regional in Utah. We were plagued by a variety of electrical issues and weren't able to get up and running well until Saturday. Fortunately we caught the eye of the #1 alliance, and we ended up being partnered with 1619 and 399. We loved working with these teams, and we were able to advance to the semi-finals. This was the best our team has ever done, so we were extremely happy with the results. We also made a regional recap video that we are pretty happy with as well:
