Re: [FTC]: Team 3237 Steel Magi Robot Unveiled

We'll definitely drop by your pits at World's!
Our team actually thought about putting LEDs on our robot's clear PVC scoring mechanism or just around the chassiss to signal blue / red alliance or magnetic baton but we kind of just put it off...

Once our "horn" has activiated, it locks itself and won't put anymore stress on the servo itself. Many other teams have physical ramp in front of their robot but due to size constraint we weren't able to pursue that. Other teams have powered arms to lower the bridge for them but our team thinks it's too vulnerable (espcially in autonomous) and it's not as efficient. It took us a while until we figured out the "horn" and implement it in the robot.

Thansk for all the kind words!
