They might have kept up with them a few times, but most of what I saw 1114 blew them away. From what I saw today, the most hurdles Wildstang got was 3, I saw 1114 get 5-7. I also thought that the finals were a pretty good example of arm vs shooter and shooter won. I do think you could compare killer bees with a shooter however. their arm is very effective, falling down after they hurdle so they dont need to wait. I thikn that may be the best arm bot we see this year.

Re: Shooters vs Arms

This is our end effector. Its 3 rollers. The two fiberglass folding arms that are sticking out at the bottom have been removed. Works like a charm and the top part of the rollers is used to push off balls. It was good enough for us to be undefeated in elimination rounds (until we faced 103 in the finals that is :p ). But overall, I love this thing. I would make it into a shooter though if we could do it all over again:P(j/k)

I agree. In fact, if everyone built shooter bots, the game would suck. Maybe shooter bots score the most points, but don't downplay what arm bots or lap bots can do. Diversity is what makes the competition great. Having a shooter to move quick, score points while one armbot is placing. The other arm bot moves to the other side to grab the ball as soon as the first bot hurdles, could go really quick if done right. Then at the end game both arm bots place the trackballs, man that would be coooooollll.
