Re: 2014 Curie Division

I would like say since a lot of you are pre-scouting pictures & videos.

4901's robot no longer looks like it does in any video/pictures you will find. We have created an entirely new intake over the past 4 weeks. The drive-train is the only thing that remains entirely the same as what you see on video. Even the shooter that you see used in autonomous in the Orlando Regional is slightly different...only in how it is controlled, in order for us to have option to employ a two ball autonomous sequence if needed as well as to have our drivers have much better control of the ball once it is under the control of the robot.

As JVN would say. Iteration has proven to be the key to success for us.
