Re: Are things quieter than usual this year?

I think the most team's secrecy lies with the design of the Tetra manipulator. We've never had to move an object with a shape like that before. Key to a robot's success this year will be how well their manipultor operates. It's a very complex task to effectively secure a tetra, put it into scoring position and then release it.
For team 125 the manipulator is something we have definitely not defined yet. We plan on aggressively designing and prototyping that late into the build.
