It seems to have changed quite a bit since the last video you posted... Is there any particular reason why it's a wide robot now? The shooter looks new as well. Cool empty cell manipulator, too!

A very excellent robot as always!

Small possible flaw I see though......That space in the middle of your robot.....If an empty cell gets tossed in there, then you can't pick up anymore without forcing a penalty on yourself. Correct? (However if you have an empty cell and one is thrown in there by an opponent you're fine)

I think the empty space is designed so that one can place an Empty cell there and then there's a little mechanism that launches the Empty cell out.


That robot is sick though, but what was the first one? A really nice prototype?

What are the springs in the bottom rear of the robot for?

I was thinking about that but I can't see anything, hopefully someone from the team can clarify?
