Honestly, I don't remember much, particularly as far as breakdowns. (Though there was that one wire that needed to be taped into place...) Performance was decent, not spectacular--about what a kitbot could do. I don't recall seeing the lift lift anything, though it did at one point snag a tote.

Anyone have video of it in action?

Re: pic: Seen at Fall Classic: Side

It would be interesting to see video of the drive in action, especially considering it didn't have to deal with a changing center of gravity w.r.t. totes. A closed frame design may alleviate some of the challenges with the long chain runs.

For a game with exclusion/safe zones, this setup could be interesting for specific robots - like 2012/2013, if you discount the balancing in 2012. Or even perhaps for a 2014 robot with a specific team/strategy mindset - after all, the Killer Bees proved all-omni was plausible in a defense-heavy game.

I'm all for reducing the number of wheels required to play :D

Off topic, but what 33 actually demonstrated is that floating like a butterfly can be a winning tactic, IF you can also sting like a bee.* This requires a very good driver. Which they had.

Muhammad Ali demonstrated the same thing 40 years earlier, in a different sport.

Doesn't look like it, but I do know there was a stream, and I'm pretty sure the stream was saved. It's just that finding it is going to be interesting.

Is that a cut resin or polymer or is it poured? How heavy?

I'd have to ask the team. It's not poured, I don't think--you don't pour fiberglass. Heavy... I'd say that the main reason this particular robot needs a 2-person carry is awkwardness rather than weight. Try an easy pickup of one end with one hand.

Right the first time. You should see their regular-season robot.

Got pictures for those of us on the other coast?

You can't make a statement like that and not provide a picture.
