SUBSYSTEMS:

Chassis: Vex 4" Mecanum wheels driven by 25:1 rs-775 motors in a versaplanetary

Lifter: Driven by 2 rs-775 motors in a vex dual motor input 36:1 gear ratio.

Intake: 2 bag motors 25:1 now we are using 4 colson wheels (but not in the video)

In & Out: it allows us to put our stacks on the scoring platform and step, driven by an andymark PG-27.

Beautiful robot. I enjoyed watching it compete. That match where you guys did a last second coop stack was epic.

A side note... I found it funny that our teams have similar numbers, we both wear similar black shirts with white accents, and we powder coat our robots black/red vs black/blue. I'd say that must make us partially related.

Best of luck this season! Hopefully we'll see you in St. Louis.

[Michael 4499]

Haha ya I hope to see you there, on that last second co-op stack I barely made it. Your robot is looking fantastic as well. Good Luck this season.

It was great working with you guys @ Dallas regional! We were SO CLOSE to getting to the semi finals! only 4 point average behind! I love your overall robot design.

Haha thanks, it was fun working with your team as well. If only we did just as good the first round as the second round.

I think we found the anti-shockwave. To add to this you both have solid bots.

Team 4499 has an incredible robot; 148 had a great time playing with them in Dallas. I have no doubt they will be very, very, VERY successful in Denver.

To 4499...
I started a conversation with two of your students on the practice field, but did not get a chance to finish it (robots being distracting, and all). If they read this and still want me to answer some of their questions about VEX, I hope they'll shoot me an email at john.vneun@gmail.com

Ok thanks a lot for the response, we will be in contact with you soon. Good luck in Vegas, seeing you and 987 together will be a blast to watch.
