Re: The Search for 111 & 71
The team 71 bot was our alliance teammate in the Boilermaker Regional.

They have a strafing drivesystem that is very manueverable but can be a bit tippy due to its large arm. Its arm contains a 3 prong claw at the end with a circular rim around it that is attached to the arm. They just put the rim around the tetras that it holds on its base and picks up 2 at a time. It is a very innovative design and also won a few awards.

BTW, that picture is from the final round of the Boilermaker Finals. Somehow, we still ended up winning.

It was pretty funny when their battery fell out and they were riding on it.

Also, it would be almost impossible to put a tetra on theirs because they keep their arm relativly close to or on their stack of tetras.
