Orientation: unicorn swerve drive, so we prefer wide during triples (and our bridge manipulator is on the wide side)
Balance assist: no stinger, but
- Drivetrain brake - twist Colson Performa wheels perpendicular or caddy corner. The swerve also lets us stay straight even if pushed up off-center, as well as get around or through bridge defense or cause serious fouls against the defender.
- Harpoon arm - not our normal bridge-lowering device (~1min modular change), but if we're the 1st bot in a triple balance, it keeps us from falling off and allows us to hang halfway off the bridge
in wide configuration. If we're middle, it can also be helpful to hold most 1st (or 3rd) robots on the bridge, should you desire an extra safety net. The harpoon will not damage your robot, but please make sure your bumpers are legal.
Triple Experience: 5/6 in the MAR finals. 1 done under heavy defense, 1 lost to heavy defense in which our alliance caused 24 points in fouls against the defender. (Capable at Horsham, but not needed.) Another 12/12 as middle on the practice field with 7 different teams. Another 2/3 as first robot on the practice field without our harpoon (1 loss of driver control).
