Re: Team 846: 2013 Season Recap

Thanks for the kind words. I wouldn't have made that bet myself, but perhaps that just shows that fortune favors the bold.

I definitely see us going for the 3rd level off season; 2nd to 3rd level with our climber is exactly the same as going from the 1st to the 2nd level.

It's pretty hard to line the robot up dead center to make sure we can make the 3rd level however, and we'd rather abort than risk a bad hook engagement and losing our robot. For the offseason, we're going to make some modifications to that hook setup so we can have more side to side tolerance and be much more comfortable with that leap. At that point, we'd more heavily automate the sequence as well so we go faster. We have big dreams for the off season
