the arms are gone...due to weight. the "wing" on top was holding up the flailer because the pneumatics weren't hooked up yet. we are planning on having a good showing in the auton period and basically calling it quits...hopefully some good campaigning and drafting will help us out...
we can go up the ramp but have to go up backwards. then all the weight almost balances ourselves out. we do have a secret weapon that can help us with the staying on hdpe...all we have to do is get up there. currently our largest problem is our drive train...we have too good of traction on the carpet...if only we have thought of our idea last year. are we breakable...yes. but so is any robot. with the strategy we chose we feel we have a descent design. 22 boxes in 5 seconds max. paired with strong, wide, red and blue robot that is a bulldozer could make a very strong alliance.
