I was just about to ask "Does it hold the ball tightly?" when I saw the reveal video. So, in response to my own question, "yes."


That is truly an awesome bot.

Coolest top roller intake, I've seen so far. Very cool linkage.

Yes, this is one of my favorites to be released in MAR this year. 222 seems to have nailed everything!

Robot looks great, guys!
Looking forward to playing with you at Chestnut Hill.

Re: pic: 222 Tigertrons 2014 Aerial Assist
 

Thanks for the compliments. We can't wait for Mount Olive to see if our robot plays well with others.

What VersaPlanetary ratio are you using with the 775?

Re: pic: 222 Tigertrons 2014 Aerial Assist
 

The versaplanet for our choo choo is 100:1 and is reduced further 80:24.

The versaplanet for our roller is a 10:1 ratio.
