Re: Winning bots

Even though we didn't make your short list, The Dukes were finalists in Phoenix and Las Vegas, so I'd say we qualify for this thread.
Video of our Phoenix matches is up HERE and will soon be posted for 'Vegas at the same site.
We are kit base and tranny upgraded to 4WD. 8:1 gear reduction at the shoulder joint and pneumatic elbow joint.
Our advantage was that there was no swing on the tetra while we were holding it so we'd just drive up and cap with no need to wait for the swing to stop before attempting our drop. We usually capped between 4 and 6 goals per match and loaded human player side only. Our highest cap was the 5th tetra high on the center goal.
We almost couldn't be happier with how competetive we've become.
We'll see you's next season!
