Re: pic: 179 Swampthing 2k4

Another SC team has ball grippers like those too. Interesting how one design can be so significan't many years later. I've actually seen some direct replicas of ball grappers from 2001's game this year. But anyway, Swampthing, you have an awesome robot again this year. Good luck, and see you at UCF!

But in the finals when there's 3 of us and say 2 are like ours and 1 is a ball catcher. We can perform either function as needed to compliment the other, while still being able to hang.
Can you make wieght with both arms at the same time? Becuase there's a rule that says you can't have modular parts, and that everything that goes on the robot has to be weighed at the same time and be under 130 lbs.
