Re: 2013 Championship Newton Division

We are in the Newton Division along with our friends, the Holy Cows, team 1538.
Code Orange (from Orange County, California), FRC Team 3476, presents "Highlights" of our robot from our 2013 season at this YouTube link:

We shoot our 3 starting discs into the 6 point goal in Autonomous. Then we can pick up 4 discs from the floor and shoot them also. Our 2-speed gear box allows us to both quickly move around and to push others when needed. Our 4 powerful shooter motors and fast aiming setup allow us to score discs from many positions. Watch this video and see how fast our human loader is and how we suck discs off the floor. We have a fast pre- or post-buzzer 10 point pneumatic hanger.
Our alliances in our second regional (Inland Empire) scored some of the highest match points in the country: 125, 147, 149, 153, 169.

We have a different video in the Robot Showcase thread at:

See you in St. Louis!!!
