Easily one of my favorite robots of all time, congrats on the great season.

One of my favorite parts of St. Louis this year was when we went to the practice field and were sent to the spot right next to 148's robot. It was really cool to see it up close, all black and in its glory. I was happy to hear that they got to Einsteins after our run on Carson, and I'm glad to see they did so well on Einstein. Congrats on a successful season, Robowranglers!

I'm really intrigued by your frame this year... essentially a WCD, but with what looks like an entirely sheet metal frame. Will you be posting CAD of your robot this year?

The drivetrain looks like a variation on their X009 project. There's a design log with links to CAD here.

This season we decided it would be more beneficial to put our focus into making sure our robot was prepared for the upcoming competitions. As a result, there were certain choices we had to make regarding a reveal video. It was more important for us to create a smaller scale video for our open house.

Hopefully in the coming weeks we will be posting 2016 Renegade CAD.

Our hanger is deployed by pneumatic cylinders. Once the cylinders deploy, a bottom linkage hyperextends then locks in place causing the bottom versa tube to extend out. Next, 30lb gas shocks deploy the top versa tube and latches on to the tower. Our hanger is winched up by a 775pro which is attached to the drum. The straps that pull Renegade up are weaved through the drum and connected to the hooks at the very top of the hanger.

During the build season we designed a prototype drive train. This drive consisted of 2 775pro motors on each side of the drive. Through testing this prototype we decided to go with 2 CIM ballshifters because we felt they would be more reliable to handle the tough circumstances of Stronghold. Also from this prototype we saw that we needed to change from #25 chain to #35 chain for durability.

As much as I loved the beautiful robot action and slow-motion swaggering, I'm really curious as to what that trumpet and saxophone quartet was about. Does anybody know the story behind that, or better yet, have a recording?

Great videos and another fantastic robot this year! It truly amazes me how much you guys managed to pack into such a small, dense package. I can't wait to see the CAD :D

Given that much of the audience has their hands to their chest during that segment of the video, I'd assume that is the National Anthem.
