Three goal robots, in my opinion are going to get hit hard this year. Robots like ours (1 goal only) hit the goal at full speed (12fps) very hard. I can not see how three goal robots with the long arms extended are going to be able to hold on and 'control' the field with two other robots, possibly tanks putting everything they have into getting the goals. In addition 3 goal robots will have to be insanely fast to all three to get them, I have seen claims of 14 ft/sec and even higher this year so the goals will not be sitting pretty in the middle of the field. Time will tell but I hope everyone has many spares.

Don't get me wrong though I like your bot alot it looks very finished all painted like last years, ours is just plain silver.

As for the certain something that scores points, from the picture it looks like a telescoping mechanism to touch your robot in another zone?? Did I win?? Bring spares for that too
