Or towards jealousy ;)
This is fantastic. You guys were great at the Regional; lots of spirit, lots of support for your fellow Lee's Summit teams and everyone else.
Thanks for a great weekend!

We train our new members to put the crosstown sports rivalries behind and embrace the cooperative spirit of FIRST. It feels strange to them at the onset, but by the time they experience their first tournament I think they get it.

The 1625 robot seemed to get better and better throughout the weekend. Good luck at Midwest.

Why does the arm move up and down between loading and shooting?

Re: 1986 Robot POV Video
 

The pneumatic cylinders running the arm stop mechanically against the shooting tray mid-stroke. Every time the angle of the shooting tray changes the arm moves briefly (if it is in the up position) to remove that mechanical interference.

And because it looks cool ofcourse!

Btw: Great robot, simplicity is key! Really love your design. Good job you all!!

We got lots of attention for a GoPro POV video this year, but this POV video is 100 times more cool.
