Re: Team 4329's 2015 Robot Update

We have been practicing and still improving our robot for the Championship - https://youtu.be/AWMjpDtVxqo (Practice bot shown)

Robot improvements include:

- Faster elevator carriage travel.
- Taller elevator allows for capping of existing scored 5 stacks.
- Better control of totes allows us to create and move 5 and 6 stacks now.
- Can grabber mechanisms functioning, will be dialed in by champs. Allows us to grab 2 cans off the step on either side.
- Smaller auxiliary tote ramp allows for placement on either human player chute.

Our robot can easily compliment any alliance and any strategy - co-op, adding to existing stacks with our own stacks, using our on-board loading ramp or our tethered auxiliary ramp to load totes. Good luck to everyone at Champs!
