That's incredibly impressive. Again, job well done 1114. This may be your most inspiring robot to date. And that's saying something.

Everything is fast and fluid. After they score a stack, the claw that hold the RC drops back down in about a second. I have to wonder if there is a lot of automation going on with the mechanisms that builds the stacks. It would be virtually impossible for a driver to know when to "press the button" since they are usually facing away from the drivers. The only robot that comes close in stacking speed (single robot) is Red Crusade (4613, a rookie!) and they use a lot of automation to get their stacking speed.
