We have videos of da robot opperating there and pics for people who are cool like that and prefer still images.

Drivetrain: Driver oriented Mechanum with gyro and compass orientation. (can rotate around any point on or in front and behind robot, as well as some super secret moves )

Arm: Super Awesome Four Bar Linkage with wrist powered by screwshaft and pneumatics, reaching all 6 peg heights (watch video)

Minibot: launcher deploy in less then a second with minibot nearing the 4 second mark. (gonna be alot faster with a whole team not occupied with anything else for a bit)

Other Goodies: 6 Pre Programmed autonomous peg functions for easy adjustment, line tracking anywhere, 180 degree camera view on speparate display link monitor(similar to a backup cam). Custom Dashboard with more readouts then the driver will prolly ever use. Cool stickers. Polished aluminum arm ( i can see myself in it)

Looking forward to seeing all the great bots at seattle and portland!
