That looks good.

Is it shooting from the base of the key? The top of the key?

[SenorZ]

...and we've got a LOT of work to do.

That is really impressive, up and running in 2 1/2 weeks? Better than what my team is churning out right now :/.

The rear wheels on the base of the key.

Bravo!

Looking forward to seeing this in KC and St. Louis. The Metool Brigade always brings a strong bot, and this looks like the start of another great one.

Based on the look of your robot, it seems you are a lot further on then just practicing with your shooter. What do you have planned to do with these last 3 weeks? Perfecting auton? Implementing camera tracking? converting the shooter to shoot far? or just practice practice practice?

In any case, holy moly, really puts into perspective at what a team is capable of doing in 2 1/2 weeks...when I was a student on my team, I don't think we ever had a completed bot by bag and tag time. Thank Dean for the few hours out of bag time we get in Michigan and the Thursday pit set-up lol.

Thank you very much! We are pushing really hard this season as we are building a practice robot and want to be able to compete against each other, along with hopefully hosting a scrimmage event during the end of the build season with the other rookie teams near us.
