696 always has that attention to design. Particularly love the wheels, and as always, that white powdercoat. A great machine this year.

Very beautiful!
Loving the white frame!

We might just go with white pearl frame and red details next year.:)

By far my favorite robot, not because of what it accomplished, but by how much I learned helping produce it.

Looks awesome, Is the arm actuated?

I'm not sure if I understand the question, but I'm imagining you're referring to the floor pickup. The floor pickup is not actuated. It drops down at the beginning of the match by gravity and stays down for the duration of the match. We do have an available solenoid and extra weight if we did want to actuate it, but we didn't find the need.

I’m curious about the riveted gussets on your floor pick-up appendage…were those added as a response to some “failure” or were they included as “sacrificial” parts as part of the original design?

The gusset plates were manufactured between regionals and indeed added in response to failure of the welds on the floor pickup frame, due to impact. We have a new TIG welder this year that we're still learning the settings on it. Clearly, we didn't punch enough Amps into it. I really ought to fire the guy who welded those (me :D). It probably didn't help that we were welding in the freezing cold when the frame was about 30 degrees Fahrenheit.

Us smashing you into the wall didn't help either. Sorry about that and glad to see you found a good solution.
