Re: FRC 180 S.P.A.M. 2012 Robot Testing Video

Some specs on this year's to-be-named SPAM creation:

Drive-
Wide orientation
4 CIMs in AM shifting gearboxes
6 4" wheels "West Coast" style

Ball Acquisition-
High-speed, small-diameter intake roller

Ball Indexing-
Polycord on PVC rollers
Automatic sorting with sensors

Shooter-
2 FP motors driving 2 sets of 6" AM wheels
Camera targeting adjusts alignment and RPM

Flipper-
Powered by the van door motor
Used for crossing the barrier
Used for raising, lowering, and balancing the bridge

The robot as shown is about 90% complete. Missing are our decals, team numbers, and super secret weapon.
