Re: Major robot upgrades refore next Regional

Thanks for all your concerns and we will be well under the 25 lb rule and under the 10 hour rule as well. Last year being our rookie year we were hesitant to make more than simple modifications, but then we had some reliability issues last year as well. The team will touch every part of the robot to improve speed on all drives, handling, gripper function, hybrid mode, mast movement, safety features, controls and build robustness into little (and sometimes big) things that broke in St Louis.

I like the turret design. You could use it to shoot the track balls off the over pass in hybrid and at the end of the game! Humm, I am sure we would be over the weight limit adding something like that to ours!

I just needed to know if this was normal or are we taking on more that what other teams have taken on.

Second year concerns....
