Looks great like this, but do you have a pic with bumpers in place?

Can you get both manipulators under the low bar?

Can you carry a boulder through the portcullis (if yes to the preceding, looks doable)?

Section 1 -

The W was etched on a piece of metal a number of years ago by a trophy house for demo stuff. We cut the metal down further for use on the robot. We have another two or three made without the W just in case of that question :-)

We are not able to go under the low bar with the current configuration. We should be able to carry a boulder underneath the portcullis since the compression of the pick-up mechanism is made to hold a ball pretty tightly until we're ready to load and shoot. I'll let you know for sure once we get the practice-bot up and running (some last minute design decisions on the competition robot).

We don't have a pic with bumpers in place - it was a choice of taking the time to do that or to let it run around a bit for some testing. We'll be posting a pic of the practice bot with the bumpers (and hopefully a video) in the next week or so.
