Really awesome bot and a 2 ball auton! Can't wait until MAR and NE can interplay!

Sweet machine! Looks very well built and competition ready.

Now we can see which team got the better Schreiber brother.

Who do you think lil' Schreiber went to when he needed help on pneumatics?

[Tom Bottiglieri]

Brandon (and now Andrew too!),

Thanks for continuing to inspire the next generation of kids on 11 and us alumni! This robot is really nice. The launcher reminds me of a cesta from jai alai.

Hope Ethan isn't causing too much trouble up there

Ooh, looks nice!
Your harvester/catapult layout is rather similar to our team's. Except yours just looks so much more beautiful

See you guys at Groton

Looking better every year, an inspiration as always.

Got to see this machine this past weekend at Scrimmage and it was amazing! Best of luck to the Nutrons this season you guys have really outdone yourself this year!

[Kyler Hagler]

Sweet looking machine. I hope I make it to St. Louis to come look at this thing! Great job guys and good luck!

[JamesCH95]

Awesome robot.

Looks like the folks from up in Boston put together another solid machine this year.
I'm looking forward to checking out the details of the design at the Groton District.

That is going to be really hard to defend against! Both your drive base and your catapult are powerful enough that most teams will be scared to even be in your path, for fear of fatal damage.

What IS your drive base, by the way? Couldn't see it, but I'm guessing tank?

All in all, I am super impressed. You will certainly steamroll your competition.

I believe they are running a live-axle 6WD with 4in Colsons and 6 CIMs. Not too shabby.

6 CIM single speed 6wd with 4x2 colsons. We only weigh about 95lbs w/o bumpers and battery though so the acceleration is great.

Closed loop speed control on both sides to ensure we drive straight (wasn't on during the scrimmage thus the arcing in auton).
