Silicon Valley Regional

The Silicon Valley Regional starts a week from tomorrow, so it's about time this thread got started!

So first off, who's going? What does your robot look like? What can it do? Do you have pictures? Any videos? Videos of other matches?

I'll start off:

Team 256, The Robo-Rams, will be attending SVR this upcoming Thursday! Our robot consists of a 6-wheel drive train, a pneumatic gripper that grabs tubes from the inside, and has never let one go to date. We use an arm with pre-set positions to score, with precision adjustment on the controls. We also have a boost button on our controls to maximize our otherwise lowered robot speed (Though it's fast without the boost). Our minibot(s) vary in design, with more info on that soon, and our deployment system deploys fast with a self-adjustment system. We can hang anywhere, floor load, feeder load, and even throw tubes. Below is a picture of our robot, Rampage

And now, here is the video showing our robot from it's beginnings to its current form. The minibot is being updated.
