Team 2869 - Pre-Suffield Shakedown Robot Reveal

Hello everyone,

Here is our 2016 robot


https://youtu.be/6CGqqco6hO0

This robot has been a blast to build and means a lot to our team.
A little team history.

In 2009 We were founded and won Rookie All Star
In 2010 we got to Semi Finals
In 2011 we did nothing
In 2012 we got to Quarter Finals

And 2013 - 2015 were complete failures
2013 we had a pool noodle blocker
2014 we had a bare drivetrain
and in 2015 we built an elevator that never worked

We were tired of failure so we built a 2015 offseason bot which led us to becoming finalists at the HHH Invitational.
