CLAW:
<7 lb "VersaClaw" Uses VexPro Frame and Gussets Reinforced with 1/16" Sheet and 1/2" Round Standoffs
Blue Banebots wheels powered by BAG motor run through 15:1 VersaPlanetary for Intake
Geometry of Claw, Wheels, Sorbothane Strips Optimized For Ball Pickup at Any Angle. (Really. We were going to do a CD7 Style, but we didn't need it.)
Pair of 2.5" Stroke 3/4" Bore Cylinders Actuate Claw for Shooting / Catching

While far from our simplest endeavor, we think this is our best one yet. A truss shooter specialist, this robot can quickly acquire the ball and shoot over the truss from multiple trajectories, allowing us to adjust our shot for whatever the catcher on our alliance might need. Can shoot into the goal from short range or from about 1/3rd of the field if moving full speed. We look forward to alliance strategy this year, we've got a bunch of tricks up our sleeve.

If you're in the Capital region, please let us know if you would like to practice together.
