There is a lot missing on our competition bot, including the two heaviest components. The shooter and the electronics. All of our weight is in the back of our robot. I will upload another teaser photo in a few days to show off our shooter, gear manipulator, hanging mechanism, and ball collector. Every year, we always build 2 robots, a practice robot and a competition robot. Our practice robot is pretty much finished and we are currently in the process of remaking everything for competition robot (which is why this teaser is mainly just our frame). Stay tuned for our robot reveal video which will be posted when 6-weeks ends!
