After few weeks of designing, prototyping, and holding stuff up to the frame, we have attached our first fully mechanized ...thing... that isn't a wheel on a toughbox.

There's a pretty good line at about 1:50.

that looks quite familiar...maybe a little bit like our accumulator (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/32592)...I hope you guys are going to do something to prevent the orbit balls from getting into your drive train.

good luck guys!

Any questions?

Phase 2: ???
Phase 3: Profit!

"Phase 3: Profit!"
That's even less likely than scoring, FIRST is a non-profit organization after all.

There is a hint to the design in the video description...
