Guys, thank you for all the replies. The team was hard at work today finishing up the bot and getting as much done as possible for us to do damage tomorrow. A technically specific response will be posted by Adam sooner or later since this is his baby.
EJ: I honestly thought the video would have been much better if the bot was powder coated and I didn't feel like an idiot running around with the "GoPro on a stick" for hours on end. Regardless, it came out decent.
Akash: There are a few different fabrication processes that went into Encore. There were sheet contributions from 1477 that ended up in our a-frame for member anchoring and support while 1647 gave us sheet pieces that went into supporting our tower. The shooter is two RS-550s driven by belt which we can actually replace the motor mounted pulleys to ranger our rpm from 0-5000 or 0-9000/10000. The actual reduction Adam knows off of the top of his head. I'm fairly certain that Encore will be running the 0-9000/10000 rpm set. The picture below should show you the current modifications we have going into Friday without our Stinger (Dingus) that should be added sometime during the day tomorrow or early in the morning.
Knauss: When it comes to the vision system, I am still fairly certain our setup is pretty much an exact copy of what 971 is doing with the FitPC. I'm sure I or Adam can update tomorrow with the exact status of our vision system.
Brendan: Our initial system did cross the bump but struggled to do so. However, our new addition (Mantis Arms), as you can see on the picture below, will allow us to do it much quicker and without the struggle we had earlier on.
Victor: Adam actually was kicking and hammering down on the intake a few weeks ago and it held up perfectly fine.
Below is the update going into tomorrow! Encore will be ready to roll!
