[FTC]: Power Surge Robot

Hi all,

Now that the season's over, I put together a little video of our robot's capabilities. You can watch it here. In it, you can see that we actually had two different kinds of 2-puck-rack autonomous modes (although we only ended up using one kind). You can also see our Intake System in more detail.

By the way, we competed at the Monty Madness FTC event on Saturday; really great event! We went undefeated, and broke our high score again: 290 points against two functioning opponents! We got 18 pucks in the triangle in autonomous mode, and then got all 16 of our remaining pucks in the triangle in tele-op mode and got up on our opponent's ramp to get the bonus. Our alliance partner stayed on the ramp the entire match, thereby gaining us another 10 bonus points.

-Jonathan
