Re: FRC Team Strengths

Well to toot our horn a bit I would say our team is known for two things.

The first is innovative use of pneumatics. We always use pneumatics (except for lunacy) and if you saw our arm lift this year you would understand what I mean by innovative. Also I have never seen another robot like our Overdrive robot which used 9 cylinders performing 7 different functions and had a totally unique lifting system.

The second is our love of helping others at regionals. Our pit boss isn't happy unless he is fixing robots and since ours are so robust you will generally see our pit crew all over the place helping others.
