Specs:

• All in one arm that can pivot
• 3 Wheeled Linear Shooter(Thanks Team Spectrum)
• Fast floor intake
• Fast human loading
• Fast 10 pt hang
• Less than 30 second 45 pt dump

Team 842 is very proud of their robot this year and though this was the craziest and most stressful build season we ever had, it looks like our hard work will finally pay off. Good luck to all teams at the Phoenix regional as well as our sponsors.

That climb. Totally want to see this robot up close.

Re: Team 842 Presents: Ingrid's Dream
 

Can someone make a .gif of that climb so I can use it as a desktop background? :ahh:

That is a gorgeous robot, I'd love to hear some stories on how you guys figured out how you were going to juke and jive your way up the pyramid!

Re: Team 842 Presents: Ingrid's Dream
 

Good job with the video John. We do need to remember to open our lower arm when dumping the colored frisbees!

Re: Team 842 Presents: Ingrid's Dream
 

Another beautiful robot! good job guys. :)

Re: Team 842 Presents: Ingrid's Dream
 

I absolutely love the feed into the shooter. And the climbing of course.

Awesome bot.

Wow. That climb is incredible. If I knew you could see me in my living room, I would give you a standing-o for that. Really cool robot.

Re: Team 842 Presents: Ingrid's Dream
 

One of the coolest hangs I've seen.

wow! that climb took me by total surprise. That robot is a gymnast! I love that multi-arm.

Re: Team 842 Presents: Ingrid's Dream
 

Dat Ascent.

Re: Team 842 Presents: Ingrid's Dream
 

That climb....wow.

I'm curious, why is it only a 45 point climb and not 50?

Re: Team 842 Presents: Ingrid's Dream
 

The last frisbee in our intake falls upward while climbing and the conveyor belt won't shoot it out. If we go to nationals we may look for other ways to make it a full 50.

Re: Team 842 Presents: Ingrid's Dream
 

Wow amazing robot, that climb was just amazin, love how the hooks are bolted on the chains.....i just have to ask, what the name of the song?

Re: Team 842 Presents: Ingrid's Dream
 

I thought no one could make a robot that can literally do everything in this game. Thanks for proving me wrong.

Re: Team 842 Presents: Ingrid's Dream
 

Can I get credit for this one Steven? ;)

Re: Team 842 Presents: Ingrid's Dream
 

Can they cross-court shoot? Do they have a 7-disc auto programmed yet?

One thing's for sure; unless they've discovered some kind of black magic, they can't shoot from above 4ft.

Still, darn impressive machine.

Re: Team 842 Presents: Ingrid's Dream
 

I suppose...

But I would define "doing everything" as the following:

• At least 3 Discs in AUTO
• At least 8 discs in TELEOP in the HIGH GOAL
• 30 pt CLIMB
• Score some discs in the PYRAMID GOAL
• Floor pickup

Could another robot outscore it? Maybe. But can this machine compete in every single level of the competition? Sure can.

Re: Team 842 Presents: Ingrid's Dream
 

We were struggling for a while trying to figure out how to get the hook-and-chain concept to work. Once we realized that going under the second bar was a reasonable approach, the concept became much easier to work with.

It was a good tip. :)

Re: Team 842 Presents: Ingrid's Dream
 

This is amazing. Breath-taking climb, beautiful disc pick up. Congrats on your Phoenix regional win!

Re: Team 842 Presents: Ingrid's Dream
 

I saw the climbing diagrams at the beginning of the season and didn't have a clue what you were going to do. This is brilliantly done. I have been in awe. I don't know how many times I have showed this to other people...

Also, I'm really confused. Some sources have shown you were only planning on going to the Phoenix regional. I really hope as a HOF team and with how you played with this amazing machine that you will be going to world champs. This machine deserves to play there.

*Side note, I would also like to know what song you used.

Re: Team 842 Presents: Ingrid's Dream
 

Thanks for the kind words! I believe the song is listed in the youtube comments somewhere.

Even though we are a hall of fame team, we were not planning on going to championships unless we qualified at a regional event (this was the case last year, and in 2011 as well I believe). We were only able to afford to go to one regional, so it's lucky we've managed to pull out another win. You will see us at championships this year, we are close to having the funds we need.

Re: Team 842 Presents: Ingrid's Dream
 

Hopefully we make it to champs this year. I'd love to see this thing in person and talk to the designers who've put a lot of effort into it!

Re: Team 842 Presents: Ingrid's Dream
 

I was thinking it would fall when it climber over the first bar :D

Re: Team 842 Presents: Ingrid's Dream
 

I'm always so impressed to see the many different ways teams overcome end-game challenges. This is by far one of the coolest, and unique climbs I've seen yet...

Well done, 842!!!

That climb reminds me of one of these:
