Re: Off Season Events: How much do you change your robot?
We'll be doing pretty much a complete redesign of our arm for Monty Madness and PARC X, making it a two joint arm instead of the original one joint. It worked pretty well originally, but the pivoting action of our claw wasn't as great as it should of been. With the arm modification, we'll can the pivoting action of the claw and just make it a straight grabber. It'll make positioning of the tubes a lot easier and faster.

Also we'll be using these off-season events as an oppurtunity to make a better (and well, working) autonomous mode with the CMU cam, so we can have one for next season.
