Thanks for the shoutout. That was my last year as a student and although it is one of our team's favorite robots, it was probably one of our least effective ones in recent years. It was super over complicated and we spent so much time fixing rather than iterating and practicing with it. It was an attempt to be a utility arm robot like 67 in 2012 but we didn't focus on making it as simple as possible. For some reason we also neglected to think of gravity as a valid way to load the frisbees.
Overall it's the simple concept of being the jack of all trades and master of none that we fell into and it showed on the field and during alliance selections.
If we could do it over, we would likely have made a robot like 610 or 1986.
