Team 1501 has watched Team 71 for years be dominant at one aspect of the game and this year we chose to utilize their philosophy by building a robot that does one thing very well. If you haven't seen it check out the videos in CD!

Our bot has two wings that are 2.25" high with two angled entry surfaces to prevent being blocked at our end zone line. We can deploy them in less than 2 secs and then lift two robots to a height of 14.5" from the floor in under 4 seconds. We also valved the trolley of our bot so it will continue lifting after the power is cut at the end of the match.

Our plan is to be a noise maker to limit our opponents scoring and then return to our end zone and lift two bots for the 60 point bonus.
