Re: Who was the best hanger?
is everyone forgetting 868? national finalist, from what I heard from our brothers 1218 their first pick- Las Guerillas (469) convinced 1218 to pick 868 and almost every round a robot or two was blocked by their strafing mechanism..

about winches- yep, I saw 254 hang on the practice field. Their robot is so freaking ROBUST- they zoomed around the field doing all kinds of things, went to the bar with 15 secs left, ripped their hook off, drove far back,and i mean far back- maybe 6 or 7 feet back from the platform, then BANG- their robot just zoomed up and banged the side of the bar insanely hard, it was so fast and brutal. crazy.

about winches- I noticed many teams (cooney quest, spam, etc) had winches and loose cable in a can or something until they started to winch, so it would take 6 seconds or so before they lifted.. we used a (perfect) solution for this, anyone else come up with something to counter this problem?
