Thanks & I Know..
Patrick,

Thank-you for your kind words. Yeah, we tested the protoype wings and the hinge broke before the wings did, at about 800 lbs. The lexan bumper on the bottom takes a lot of the shock load from a limbo robot.

Gope,

Yeah, we were getting lazy. We reset the bins about 200 times practicing autonomous mode and just left a few out.

-Paul


BTW, we are NOT a king of the hill bot. We will probably only deploy one of our wings each match. Our goal is to get the majority of the bins on our side. We only plan on being on the top of the ramp long enough to cross it. We have different autonomous settings to hit different spots on the ramp depending on our opponents.
