Re: USB Camera Stopped working
We've switched to the Lifecam HD-3000, but the same issue exists. I wasn't too hopeful that it'd fix it. I think we might be at the mercy of WPILib updates now...

Re: Team 1619 Climbing
Yep, we have a disk dumper for the top of the pyramid. This was from a few days ago before we had it mounted.

It does look very vicious. We'll take a vote on names in the next couple weeks from our students. The top contenders are variations involving mantis and zergs.

Re: pic: 1619 Sneak Peek (Aka, wheel bracket)
We are using BRECOflex belts for the drive. They are work great and we've used them several seasons. We will be climbing the pyramid and these are needed for the clearance of the climbing mechanism.
