Love the gear intake/delivery mechanism.

Looks good. Nice and low design. Any hopper going to be implemented later?

looks like a solid gear robot.

I am having trouble understanding how the gear intake is supposed to work. I am really happy to see how teams are specializing this year. It should make things interesting.

I'm not them, but I imagine there's something underneath the chute to let them kick the gear up from the floor intake into that pocket for scoring.

I know of a few gear robots out there, but this is the first one I've seen in any assembled form. I like what I see!

That's not a floor intake, it's a climber.

The gear holder at the front actuates backward to line up with the bottom end of the ramp. The gear drops from the chute down the ramp and into the holder, which then actuates forward to place the gear. Once on the peg, the pilot lifts the gear out of the robot.

Our strategy this year was to build a simple, reliable, fast gear robot and get plenty of driver practice for speed. There is no floor intake, for mechanical simplicity and because we're betting we don't need one.

I can see this being a very successful robot, two weeks left for tons of practice for those drivers!

In a word, no.

Is that roller legal? It looks like it extends outside the frame perimeter to me (which wouldn't be a problem after the match starts, but it has to start inside the frame before the match).

Looking good!! I am glad to see that we (433) are not the only team going with a "load from one side place from the other side" gear specialist strategy. Best of Luck at your competitions.
