[Caio]

Team: 1510 Westview Wildcats
Robot name: Red K.I.S.S.

Arm: we have a two joint arm. Pots on both top and bottom arm. Can reach every height in ideal situations but has a strength of middle and bottom. Can pick up from ground (faster than Portland if you saw us there, we made modifications), and can also do human loading (over the wall)

Autonomous: Currently working at 100% after 5-7 tries. Hopefully Thursday we'll get a better idea if it still works as efficiently (I'm thinking yes). Uses camera tracking and pot values to align arm and robot successfully

Ramp: No ramp, but can climb up to 30 degrees (tested wise). Tested on the 30 degree ramp from last year and it was successful. Due to alliance randomization we didn't have much chance to do it in a match because of failure to deploy, ramp coming back to late, or not having a ramp at all. I look forward to climbing some ramps in Curie


We have high speeds, but can't push very well. Using the 12:1 banebot gearbox provided in the kits. Six wheel drive. We choose to avoid more than to have a pushing fest since pushing just (imho) wastes too much time. We were having problems with tubes in our wheels (as well as other robots) but we'll be placing bumpers (plastic covers) on our wheels on thursday to prevent that from happening any more...

I'm a little afraid of saying that our robot is working fine and autonomous is great, because as you all know, unexpected things happen and i don't want to look cocky <_<. This is the info on the robot as of Sunday in San Diego, and if the robot isn't working as i've said, well then i'm sorry.

Can't wait to see you guys all there. Two days eh? (tomorrow for uncrating)

I'm so very excited
