Team 236 is an excellent partner for the single goal off the ramp balancers. To refresh the New England Regional attendee's memories, the TECHNO TICK robot is the FORKLIFT. Lift a full goal to the high side of a ramp and lower to balance. A team like Bobcat would not have to push any farther up the ramp than as shown in the last picture. And, on top of all of that, we are under the bar with increased speed. Not to toot our own horns, Ah what the heck...TOOT TOOT.

Team 236, the Ticks are on the move!


: : More than just Beatey cant get goals balanced from off the ramp. And Beatey does it very reliably (I never saw them fail at WMR)! Team 111 (Wildstang) also facilitates goals being balanced from off the bridge. Team 308(?), TRW, can also balance two goals from off the bridge, but from my observations were not as efficient or reliable as the first two.

: Bill,

: The Bobcat was designed to do just that.

: We are designed to move one goal onto, across and to the opposite side of the bridge. This allows a partner to push a goal onto the bridge and then we retract the arm, balance the bridge then let go of the goal.

: Attached, you will see a picture from the Quincy Scrimmage.

: Note to self... Get better picture!

: Mike
