(Sorry about the links, Couldn't get the images from flickr to load)

We built 2 bots this year. Our competition bot is in the bag now but we can still practice.

Here is some video of the bot in action. Scoring 66 points in 2:15.

Looking forward to our first district event, NE Pine Tree, this weekend.

Links to pictures are broken :( the links need to end in .jpg or .png or similar.

Robot looks great! I really hope that we get to play together at Pine Tree. I think that we'd match up almost perfectly.

Looks good. Though I have yet to have a single tote land like yours coming out of the chute.

I haven't either, it could be because of how the HP is loading them by holding it out of the chute partially and letting go right before he opens the door, allowing the tote to have a longer distance to travel and never be stopped by the chute door.

Great robot guys! Is the tape measure on the robot to the right for grabbing a RC off of the step? It seems like a very clever way to do so!

can I get some clarification as to if these two robots are meant to be a single "robot" on the field, or if it's just your practice and competition bots? (I'm guessing it's the latter since there is no way I see you getting them into transport configuration, and there is no tether)

Our HP in Duluth couldn't even get one tote to land like that on the floor. Every one of them landed on it's edge.

I see a roborio on each robot, so I guess it's a practice + competition.

Yes it is practice and competition bot.
Our scouting observations with totes exiting chutes during week 1 and 2 seemed to be very HP dependent. Same station would act very differently for one HP vs another. We suspect it is technique. We can get totes from either the HP stationer landfill no problem.
