Hi,

Team website showcasing 2010 robot (and driver's) performance:

www.EmekHefer2630.com (http://www.emekhefer2630.com/intro.php)
Splash video showcases performance from the Israeli regional, where we won as alliance captains.

At the Israeli regional the best strategy proved to be a simple grab/push/score strategy (as is evident from the video), but our robot packs a mean punch.. easily moving balls from defense to offense with it's adjustable kick when necessary (some low-power kicks are shown in the video).

Looking forward for a tough game on the curie field!

Very impressive for such a young team. Your drivers really seem to know what they're doing as well.

Good luck on Curie!

Good luck in Atlanta :)
Will be watching you from Israel!

Did you add or change anything since the regional?
Didn't know your kicker can twist..

Anyways, Good Luck!!

Leav, are you planning to make changes on your robot for the championship?

Nothing Dramatic.. we have two rollers that control the ball, and currently only one is powered. we are planning on powering the other one as well to improve ball control. (just adding a belt that connects them).


Didn't know your kicker can twist..

It doesn't! we changed that a long time ago, but the CAD drawings are from when it could!
(we decided being able to kick perfectly straight is more reliable and less complex, also the robot turns on a dime so it's almost entirely unnecessary)
