Robot
Does your Robot hang? No, but we usually score enough to make up for it.
Over the bump? quite well, and we've never even come close to tipping.
Through the tunnel? without issue
Drivetrain specs? 4-wheel independent, continuous-turn pivot drive. CIM drive, window motor steering. Crab, snake, and aim (rotate around ball) modes. (Won Xerox Creativity at the Philly Regional)
Special notes? (Hang time, position, driver changes from competitions, preferred field placement):
Can start (and move to!) in any zone.
Very good near-zone scoring and mid-field clearing/scoring (we even have a mirror to see balls hidden by the bump).
Excellent defense, both out-maneuvering and out-pushing (just ask 341
). Kicker will clear at least 1 bump if not 2, and we've scored from the far zone.
Our lead driver has driven for 2 years now, and our back-up will have 2 off-season competitions before IRI and drove some last year. Both our coaches have been on the drive team for 4 years (one as a driver for 3).
Our human players have never gotten a penalty. The robot has incurred 2 penalties in 23 matches.
Thanks for assembling all this!
