Happy New Year!

624 CRyptonite had a great offseason, and wanted to share our highlights with the community. It was a great way to end the Aerial Assist season.

We're excited for Kickoff and the 2015 season!

Nope, you can see our drivetrain in the link posted above. It's a form of Nonadrive we call Grasshopper which uses omni wheels to get the strafing movement. We didn't take data on any of our offseason events, but at the Championships we had a 100% accuracy in autonomous. That percentage probably fell off a bit into the offseason, but it was still fairly reliable. Yes, we used encoders for both autonomous and shifting.

We were on the other end of too many of those highlights this offseason for my taste :(

Hope we get a chance to team up again sometime in the future. Dont like being on the opposite side :yikes:
