There's something wrong with the robot. It does a head twitch.:p

Why?

This game is a leveling game. I think many bots will do well , some not so well and many will break down due to the game itself. We had major system malfunctions and repairs already like shooter sheering bolts and then shaft breaking in two, sheer timing luck we had time to do major repairs on the fly. Not scared of any and actually very excited to see them all in real life . Its like a west coast mini championship..as was said earlier the alliance that wins it earns it..like it should be. We tend to build fairly robust bots ours has broken so far 6 separate times, twice in practice and four times in competition.

My advice to all teams...bring everything spare part wise and harden those connections on Friday. Every connection and every spare part. Order more today overnight. Yes you need it. If defense is played as in San Diego even more parts.

Would much rather go into a high level competition than a lower one. Looking forward to it, we had an absolute blast in Ventura last year similar high end field. Better bots means potentially better alliance partners too. Its all relative.

It might also be there to throw us off. I imagine that they would want to replicate the actual field as best as possible for 2 minute practice matches.

What type of camera/sensor are you using for that auto target tracking? Ours blurs terribly when we move our turret as quickly as you guys do.

...didn't realize it was such a sensitive topic. Next time I'll refrain from somewhat whimsical responses.

Don't worry I will pray for your next whimsical response.

Sorry I took it wrong, but I heard same comment in 2-ball auto thread too. Yes ,these teams are awesome amazing engineering so glad to see them live. They are good for a reason.

I just like all teams being given a chance, especially in a game that tends to destroy bots. Just making it through 8,9 or 17 games is a challenge. Drive trains broke in eliminations in San Diego twice on one alliance with very good perennial favorite teams= 1 bot versus 3 they lost bad . So nothing is guaranteed. This is not like last year. Its rough out there. Many teams underestimated the wear and tear this year..including us. Its ridiculous and I'm sure the high end teams have strong bots . I hope no one breaks down but they will. Even 179 had issues in week 0.5. Lots of bumpers and parts all over the field of play in SD. Also defenses missing walls during matches.

A rookie was #1 in SD... led throughout. As an amazing breacher.

Just trying to pass along some knowledge of what its like for all teams to be ready in weeks 2-6 and through St Louis. It is a real fun year though the game play is amazing. They nailed it.

That seems like a low exit angle but I could be wrong, pov is tricky.

It's very possible they still believe that. :o

Yeah, the vision aligning at the end seems too snappy to be from a drivetrain, I'd say it's almost certainly some kind of turret.

No, that's EJ's chin-up bar. Gotta get those pumps in.

I believe they have the team version hanging bar.

That being said, looks to be an incredible robot. Looking forward to competing with you guys at SVR and seeing this amazing thing in person!

Re: Team 254 Presents: Dropshot
 
What I've learned from this thread: 254 has a turreted, bench grinder shooter, and most probably hangs (as evident by their CLEEEAAAARLY visible team version hanging bar). Also, sideways is a waste of time.

At 33 seconds in the video you can see two small arms pop out of the front of the robot. Let us all make crazy, unrealistic predictions as to what those are.
