Here is the robot built by 1747, Harrison Boiler Robotics. It is a unique design and one we haven't seen anywhere else.

It has a powerful drive train and can cross the field in 3.25 seconds.
6, 6" blue nitrile traction wheels that are 2" wide.
6 CIM VEX Pro Ball shifter 2.65x spread with 60:24 final reduction.
The 6" diameter shooter roller is powered by 2 RS550's in simile gearboxes to a 18:36 belt reduction.
The 3.5" pickup roller is powered by a miniCIM to a 15:62 belt reduction.

Awesome guys! haven't seen anything like it. The shooting that is.

Very nice! I love the whole integrated wheeled shooter going on. You guys must have had a lot of fun coming up with that design.

There were literally two full days a geometric considerations that went into making that system work. We've been pleasantly surprised thus far. Looking forward to stretching its legs at competition. Thank you.

Great design, guys! Lovin' the cobra. Looking forward to competing with you at CIR this week. While the wishes of safe travel are always appreciated, they apply for you guys much more-so than us. Pekin is actually only a short 5 mile drive down the road from Tremont. Let us know if you have any questions about the surrounding Peoria area and I'll be glad to help you guys out. Best of luck!

This is really really cool. Its a very unique, beautiful design. Great job and good luck!

This design is ingenuous, my jaw dropped when I first saw that system shoot.

One of the most unique robots this season. Boiler Up! See you guys in Illionis next weekend!

Thanks Ryan. It'll be like a little PFP reunion with you, KP and I there. Very much looking forward to the event aside from the potential for a very chilly venue. That should be good for the drivers and the robots though.

Thanks! I was watching the FRC TOP 25 last night and saw your robot. Interesting collector. Looks like you have a very robust bot.

Our team was actually looking for good places to eat around town. Do you have any suggestions?

You can check out this thread with some great info for CIR.

One of our fellow local Cat teams, 1736, has made a great guide for the surrounding Peoria area for visiting teams. Also, the regional chair is a mentor from our team, so if you need any other details that aren't found in that thread or in the guide, let me know and we will get you answers as best we can.

This robot has taken first place as my favorite novel design. We were watching last night and we're just sort of confused till the first shot. I wish you all the best this season and I'll be following along all season.

This is high praise coming from Spectrum! It is much appreciated, thank you.

Good job 1747, looks like a great robot. I'll be rooting for you guys at Central Illinois and BMR from here. Best of luck to you this year!
