48 and 379 practicing for IRI?

[Travis Hoffman]

Inspired by 1538 and 968 (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=77851&highlight=practicing+IRI)'s strategically meaningful video, we give you this strategically useless yet somewhat entertaining exercise, perfomed at the National Packard Museum All Makes Car Show today:

Baby bird doesn't like what the mama bird is dishing out. :p

One will be in the main event and the other will be loaned to a pre-rookie team at IRI.

The discerning viewer might also observe a rather obvious addition (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3sQcIwXuvE) to 48's robot.

Makes me wish I could have figured out logistics to make a video of my own before IRI.

Wish both of you guys luck and this is at least pretty cool. Could be strategic.

Thanks, but what you saw in the video only worked after finding the perfect positioning and shooting angle for 379. The only way another bot loading us would be strategically useful would be if they could find a way to load our top hopper - not very likely! :) I defer to the Holy Cows for designing that ability into their bot.
