It looks like you guys notched your skyway wheels.
Did that help on your shooter? We tried two skyways like that and they just didn't have the grip that was needed. Interesting idea, never thought of that.
Great looking bot!

343 also had a turret for their gun.

Any issues with you guys and shredding balls? If not, you guys look to be an awesome competitor once again this year.

Lil' Lavery, thanks for the complement. As far as shredding balls. We were actually shut down in a practice round. The problem is that a ball got jammed when the operators placed the balls in the robot before play started. The tried all kinds of maneuvers to get the ball loose. In the process it ground up the ball pretty bad. They shut us down and we accept that they were right in doing so. From that point on our operators have taken care to make sure the balls are freely moving after manual insertion. We actually did extensive testing that resulted in us putting the "sock" on the brushes to cut down on the ball damage. The operator can also stop the brushes to minimize ball wear. From our testing we do not damage balls that have not been previously damaged.

Not sure how Pink has done at other regionals, but all I can say is WOW at Boston! Great teamwork with 121, 1568, and 233.

That is one amazing robot. It is definitely a big rival to 25, everyone better watch out.

We had an awesome time playing with you guys at UCF. Congratulations on your win at Boston! I would have been there to watch and cheer you guys on, but I was stuck at home. I managed to watch the webcast for the elimination rounds, though. Excellent job, as always. See you in Atlanta!
