VERY COOL swerve movement. Although I thought last year's music was better, I like this year's robot better

With this kind of swerve movement, it should be really easy to get the balls with your ball collector. I especially like how you shoot the balls into the goal. Looks like the whole robot can store only about 12 balls, but the speed of dumping balls into goal compensate for that.

Is it hard to control the robot? I have always wondered how to successfully control a swerve drive... But it looks like the driver perfected their skills and the robot can grab the goal and balls easy. I see it can grab two goals, maybe even three if it wants to. Not especially fast speed, but plenty of pushing force and great maneuverability.

Should be your most complicated robot... Great job! Hope to see it in video, or at National. There is no question whether this bot is going into finals or not. There should be a spot reserve for you in the Championship event finals. With enough luck, you might find a good enough alliance partner in your division to push you far into finals.

Too bad you have to damage your last year's robot at the end of the video
