I'm pretty sure at best it is a tie. 4334 had at least 12 in Seattle this year :P

Well, glad to know we finally tied with a Canadian team on something! :rolleyes:
Yes, there are 12 Clippard 41 CuI tanks on the back structure. The reasoning behind such a massive air volume was because, when originally being designed, we were going to be a 30 point climb and spit robot using pneumatics. Unfortunately, that plan failed in one heck of an epic manner. The very first time we went to climb, 2 days before ship, the robot nearly tore itself apart. So, we sadly had to abandon the 30 point climb, put on a 10pt contingency, and spent a while trying to squeeze every inch we could get out of our shooter to do some decent shooting.
Come Arkansas, and the discovery that our shooter is mediocre at best, we switched to a full defensive strategy to take advantage of our height. That's why the pool noodles were added to the sides and top. Widen and make the bot taller. |
