Re: pic: Our robot at JPL

Yeah, we have a vandoor motor powering a hand-made spool we made out of a block of wood that pulls a cable through pulleys to lift our arm. The two people driving the robot were actually two freshmen girls on our team that wanted to drive really badly, so I let them. They did actually do pretty well for not having any driving experience.
We had lifted 4 tetras to see how much we could pick up and drive around with. We had never lifted more than 2 tetras anytime during a match because we were unstable and also had taken too much time. Our arm is capable of lifting one of the goals, which we had done at the Chatsworth Pre-Ship Scrimmage. Hope to see you guys at San Diego this weekend.
