Re: Archi-medes!

Luckily for us holding the ball is one of our strong points. There is no way for us to lose the ball after we acquire it since we're holding it with over 400lbs of suction force.

Our main weakness was the time it took us to get the balls off the overpass. Before we had to use our arm which took around 10 seconds per ball and put us in danger of getting stuck on the overpass but know we have built a device that allows us to remove the ball just by driving under the overpass.


I do think the winning alliance will probably be 2 offensive and 1 defensive bot however I think the defensive bot will have to be able to hurdle in case one of the offensive bots breaks in the eliminations.
