That steel tubing in the front looks outside the bumper zone. (I assume it's for picking up torrids from the floor)

How do you intend on keeping it safe from other robots?

(I'm just going to start from the beginning on this). The "feelers" are deployed by a piston mounted between the light and the tower, on the near side. They fold up into the cut-out area for the beginning of the match, so they don't exceed the starting box. They're made of aluminum rod, 1/4" I believe, and since we really can't protect them from getting roughed up a little bit, we have two spare sets. Hopefully they'll last us a regional, but if need be I think we can bend them back.

looks nice. Are those the suction cups? how well do they hold the tube?

Between the two of them, it's pretty strong- we can hit it fairly hard and it won't detach- it'll wobble, but it won't come off.

What does the piston on the side (that is shown deployed) do? it seems like its just there for fun.

I think that's to deploy the 'feelers', no?

I believe he's talking about the piston that is pointing straight up on the side of the ramp, now as for its purpose, I have no idea, unless it's meant to act as a hard stop for robots climbing the ramp. :yikes::ahh:

Re: pic: Team 1676 Presents: Johnny 5!

That I'm not sure of. I was on a mission trip the last weekend of build season, and it wasn't there when I left, and it was there when it shipped (i.e. before I got back). Someone else on 1676 may know, but I'm not going to guess (not sure what I would guess anyways).

Re: pic: Team 1676 Presents: Johnny 5!

it is a surrogate piston and is not final. the actual piston there deploys our ramps which are also not attached
