Looks great Danny!! It shares an eerie resemblance to a certain '08 robot from up north, but I'm sure you get that a lot. Now does the whole purple assembly pivot?

You know, it's funny.

I watched kickoff, and my immediate reaction was that we're going to see a TON of Simbot SS clones, and as the weeks of build season progressed, it seemed like the majority ran away from that idea, and this is the first one vaguely reminiscent I've seen as a finished product.

The arm pivots using a lead screw which moves a slide on a lineal bearing which in turn move the connecting rods.

We evaluated several different designs, they all had their pro's and con's. We looked at designs similar to the Ri3D designs, BuildBlitz, and others - in the end, this design met our goals. Of course we did several aspects differently to meet our design constraints and the differing requirements this year, but overall this robot has exceeded our expectations. We couldn't be happier.

I think that it's because teams quickly complicated the designs by wanting to add variable angles. realizing that they needed to adapt the geometry, and just generally shrinking the design with larger/more unwieldy electronics. "Improving" an SS-esque design was probably significantly harder than many teams originally thought it would be.

Not the "best", but gives you a taste.

Yeah, not daying we have first hand experience with this too, but...
