Our robot has a multitude of features including:

Field Oriented Driving (makes us not have to think about robot orientation during intense compeition
Multiple Auto Modes (Three Tote Auto, Grab 'n Go, Do Nothing and more!)
Upside Down Tote Stacking (not a lot of other teams can do this) (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1446816&postcount=11)
Able to life 5 totes at one time! (Can make quick stacks of six by stacking three totes, then two and a garbage can)
And much more!

Very nice looking robot. What type of pneumatics are using for the forks?

Also, I love the dewalt transmission for driving the lift.

See you cool cats in a few weeks.

They are pneumatic linear slides from PHD Inc - https://www.phdinc.com/product/?product=linear-slides&series=sd_se

The dewalt has the benefit of the anti-backdrive, which solidified the selection for us.

We may still have a few additional tricks up our collective sleeves as well...

Very clean design, a lot of great stuff in this one picture.

Good Luck on the field.

So the tricks we had up our sleeves (and for anyone pre-scouting the Virginia Regional):

This is the very first run of our 3-tote stacking auto (we obviously need some partners who can move containers out of the way).

We've added tote stabilizers since this video.

And - our carbon fiber step recycling container grabber and auto routine!

We're up to 6 different tested auto-modes we can use as our alliances need:

1- "Do Nothing" - Respectfully stays out of the way of our partners.
2- "Drive Forward" - supports a robot set, works on ground or over platform
3- "Grab and Go" - Picks up either a tote or container and takes it to the auto zone (over ground or platform as well, from any of the staging zones).
4- "Can and Tote" - Picks up both the tote and RC and brings them to the auto zone - from any staging zone, over ground or platform.
5- "Stacked Tote Set" - With alliance partners removing the first two RC's, stacks the 3 yellow totes, and drops them in the auto zone.
6 - "Step Recycling Container Grabber" - Quickly grabs RC's from steps and drags them off step to our field side, brings robot to auto zone.

Can't wait to see everyone in VA!!
