Team 1111 has improved a lot since Chesapeake and is looking forward to competing in Newton!
We fixed our problem of having a motor still running on our CAN network causing us to not transition correctly from hybrid to tele-op that hurt us in the first half of our matches at Chesapeake. We have a new middle side hoop autonomous for more accuracy and consistency.
We are optimized to shoot 2 pt or 3pt shots from the fender but have the capability to shoot from the key or feed our partners across the field and play smart defense.
With our strong bridge manipulator we can lift the co-op bridge and hold it up for teams on the other side, or push it down and drive over. We balanced our last 6 matches in a row at Chesapeake (including elims).
With our back loaded CG, we can hang off half our robot off the bridge leaving only 24" of the robot with bumpers on the bridge.
