Re: BEST Tetra Grabber

Thanks for the compliments guys. BOB (85) is a fun robot to drive. Eric and I have put BOB through alot of tough matches with only minor repairs. The screws have been incredibly reliable and durable (still on our first set). The only thing that I can see as a problem with the screws would be the swaying. Usually as the arm is brought down with the tetra centered over its target it stops swaying but once in a while it'll miss and I'll have to make a corrective movement which takes time. Otherwise the speed is great we haven't had a tetra fall off or get pulled off yet, however we have intentionally unscrewed them to avoid being pulled over. Auto loading is becoming less of an issue as Eric and I figure out the best procedure. It just takes time and practice on those short practice Thursdays.



Have a great weekend and hope to see you all at the Championship, feel free to stop by our pits and chat.
