Re: Team 2840, Blue Tide: Prototype ALL the Things!

I like the bridge ram testing, we've decided upon a similar design (dubbed "the wedge") that works quite well at bridge tipping. This design requires no extra effort on the driver's part beyond driving straight at the bridge. Are you still able to unlock and retract the ram if needed?

I'll be curious to see the feed mechanism, a lot of teams are using the wheeled shooter design but I think a good feed is what will really set the accurate and consistent shooting teams apart. I know 2840 was a force at AZ last year, look forward to the webcast of your robot.
