After seeing your bot at WMR I was very impressed. It was the best big ball handler there (which is why you guys got the #3 seed), plus it limbos (another big bonus). The bot would be an asset to any alliance. Hopefully we'll get the chance to be teamed up at Nationals.

We also have a fast (and reliable) claw system that captures the ball quickly and places on the goal in a single arm movement. We also use the "Claw" to control the bridge from it's side using the weight stack. Our traction is not a problem and we can carry the stretcher or goal over the bridge. As demonstrated in the finals at the LoneStar regional, we are very effective when paired with a good bridge balancer.

: Hello everyone..
: this is my first post on chief delphi after spending about 3 weeks checking the forums. First of all.. i want to thank everyone for keeping the forum alive.. it has helped me out alot for a cure to my at home bordem blues.

: Any ways.. I am on team 384... we were the #1 seed and runners up at the VCU regional. Our robot has to be one of the most efficient out there (no rant intended). In all of our 6 matches plus 3 of our four finals (one of the robots got stuck i believe).. our robot got the big ball on the top of the goal and was in the the end zone within 20 seconds.. I was just wondering if anyone else could do this as quickly?

: Thanks alot...

: and yes.. 20 seconds everytime.

We timed our robot 3 times. We did it in 21s, 18s, 17s. Thats pretty good. Everyone write that down on your scouting reports. Soon we'll have video on our webpage to show you guys.
