It seemed to me that, as I posted photographs of my team's robot, most people didn't completely grasp its design intent. I was purposefully a bit vague; both because it was fun and because we knew that the design was ambitious and just might not work.

I thought it'd be fun to share this photo that I came across in our gallery that shows the robot as it was intended to operate.



I hope that the team can make it work for the Championship, because it sure would be nice to see it deployed out on the field like that just once..

So -- does anyone else care to share their stories about what their robot was
supposed to do this year or years passed? I think it's sometimes fun to see how we find alternate functions for mechanisms or pare down our design strategies when our ambition exceeds our current abilities

How long did that take to get off the bar???? Very cool design though, multi tasking objectives is very complex.
