Re: Never Do This, and Other Good Ideas Gone Bad

We were in the same boat at thefro526.

We had probably one of the cooler-looking but worst-functioning robots at the NYC regional. It was mainly due to improper testing, as we would need the air tanks to be full to lift. That meant no kicking near the end of the game or we wouldn't raise fast enough.

Here's a photo of our lifter.

And when it's collapsed:
