Re: Predictions Week 1: Kickoff

I will help you.

//Start rant
I was always disgusted by the people who "leaked" our robot information last year anyway. We weren't even anything special. If we wanted to make things public, we would post it or tell people who requested. The double standard was also kind of stupid, forgive the bluntness.
//End rant

Anyway, 25 has a mechanism to suck balls and it seems to work fairly well. We have a kicker that looks like a human foot and we have it calibrated to kick most length of the field. Our autonomous is nice indeed, when it works. We do not use any camera because I did not see it being a reliable way to track the goal. I do not understand why GDC deviated from something that work = a nice big GREEN LIGHT. We'll find out if we can really hang tomorrow. That's all you get to know.

Maybe we will separate us from the bunch but I am excited to see many other competitive robots such as 56, 237, 1923 and 2753. They always have good ideas and obviously 2753 proved themselves to be one of the best rookie teams in FIRST as far as competition goes.

Please visit us in the pits and help us come up with a name for our robot.
