This is good to hear... though, you guys had more than Thursday at a regional to test

Being able to retract the arm during the game makes driving around and placing tubes on the rack much easier.
We'd love to do something like that, but we wanted to keep it a little simpler and we didn't want to commit to pneumatics when we were designing it Congrats on your accomplishment! I'm sure your robot will kick our butt on the field.

I'm very jealous and curious of your 7 victor controlers on your electronics board. 4 are probably for the CIM motors on your drivetrain but what are the other three used for other than controling the arm?
As for our electronics board, we set it up before the design was finalized so it has 9 Victors. Plus one for a Spike for the compressor (we shouldn't need it at all with our single piston and 6.5 air tanks, but free ballast!). Originally we planned for 6 drive motors, 1 arm motor, and two motors for a roller claw, but we scrapped the roller claw with the success of our pneumatic. We're keeping the 8th and 9th on just as a spare.

I'm really proud of the extra mile we went to make a modular, removable electronics board this year. Every single plug is hooked up to an Anderson connector. Just one "click" and we're wired up.
