You guys improved your robot dramatically from CVR to SVR, got any more upgrades planned for champs?
After SVR we added a smart dashboard feature to select different autonomous modes. 2 shot and three shot far and near. We want to change the shooter motors from mini cims to BB550. Not sure how much more range we will get doing that.

Also have a magnet and winch setup to raise to a 20 point lift but that is untested. It's really hard to do having only one robot and such a short time to get the winch on and tested during practice day. We rebuilt the whole top part of our robot in one day at SVR. Didn't have anytime to get practice and tune the mechanisms.

Rookies have it tough trying to improve their designs at competitions with limited time to implement and test software features as well as mechanical updates to the base robot.

Doesn't seem really fair to me
