Re: Team 95 Hard At Work - 2015

As if this wasn't one of our busiest seasons already, we have registered for an additional district event - Week 5 at Hartford! We've always like the Hartford event for it's proximity, great teams, and good venues and look forward to returning and playing with all of the CT teams (it looks like we'll be one of 3 robots from out-of-state, and the only ones from NH).

We are looking at making further improvements to our tote harvesting mechanism in the form of a more robust lifting mechanism and sensor integration to help us align onto the totes.

Edit: almost forgot to update!

The wrist mechanism worked out really well at Pine Tree. The antennae... not so much. They added too much weight to our arm and significantly degraded our RC handling ability, plus they were not very effective at grabbier barrier cans!
