Re: Team 254 Presents: Barrage

Wow... lots of cool stuff going on. I wonder how many cubic inches worth of air reservoir tanks are on this robot.

I've been staring at that top deflector linkage for a while. When the cylinder retracts, it angles away from the shooter to assume a steeper angle, right? At first glance I thought it was for achieving a lower angle shot, so now I don't know the purpose of that thing. They appear to be in their lower angle position for the autonomous shots, which is already a pretty high angle. Maybe they wanted even a higher angle yet for a truss pass.

There's a CIM visible through the smoked polycarbonate whose purpose I cannot discern.

I hope we can qualify for the Championship just so I can look at this thing in person for a couple of minutes.

Thanks for posting and warping my mind a bit.
