Re: Best robots at Nationals

No the WOW doesn't stop there! They could operate the bar cover flaps. These things could rotate around the axis of the bar, keeping the cover perpendicular to an opponents hook. And they could raise and lower either side. Then they had a long arm ball gripper that they used to block the opponents stationary goal from being capped. Also if needed they could remove the opponents capped ball and bring it over to their goal and cap it. ALL WHILE HANGING!! It was amazing....

While we were at the airport we met one of there mentors. He told me they had planned for it to grab the 2x ball in the middle platform on the way up and cap the opponents goal so they couldn't get any points during autonomous. I hope they continue to work on it after Nats and make that work also. That robot should go into a hall of fame or something.
