Re: Grasshopper's Homework Thread

Grayson,

Thank you for the amazing "shout-out."

The mechanism you highlighted is called the "bunny ears" within the team. When you ask the guys who were intimately involved with this robot, they will tell you the "bunny ears" were probably the single biggest reason why we won the 2013 World Championship.

They were a very low-key feature that not many other robots had, and they brought our shooting performance to an elite level (i.e. reduced time to stop and line up our shots while protected).

The irony is that most people, including younger members of our own team, still don't realize how important they were, or that they even exist!
