One of the nicest things about our robot is the modularity of it all. The entire ramp mechanism can be detached with two bolts, the pneumatics system and support frame for our ramp can be detached with four, each drive module can be detached with four, and the electronics board can be detached with four. The connections to the pneumatics board (all eight spikes) are all done with 15 pin connectors, and the motors are connected to the main electrical system with mini Anderson connectors.
The most unique design factor is our ramp. The following animation shows how it works.
Another nice feature is the built in wheelie bars on our drive modules. If you were to loko at our bot, you wouldn't even realize that the curves did this. The wheelie-bar effect can be seen in this next animation.
And Unique in the fact that we were one of the few teams that decided to go for a low-scorer is our arm. Only the bottom rung, but man can we score fast. ~5 tubes a minute now that we've gotten a little practice. (I'll throw the animation in for kicks, too)
