That is one of the most interesting systems I've seen! I have to see it in action!

Practice Video (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4PAVkp5bLHM)

I compiled all the videos I had on my phone which I took during week 4 of the build season. We didn't really show off the functionality of our robot in our Preview Reveal Video so this gives a better idea of how are robot actually works. Keep in mind this was just week 4 :p wait until you see the final product!

Not sure what happened but we lost our full 'Release Video' - we are trying to recover it.

We have redone the forks so that there is a much smoother load than what is seen in GingerPower's video. We have also reconfigured the intake mechanism with new wheels (and finger-wheels) so that we can gather from the landfill zone much easier.

We are now practicing with our practice Robot - so we should be ready for NorthStar!

Good luck to all teams competing this weekend in Duluth and elsewhere!

Sweet design, can it work out of the feeder station? I had a similar design in mind with a conveyor belt ramp like that, except the totes funneled into a cage that could open then let out the stack. Great job!
