1.Do you have a minibot?
2. How does your minibot deploy?
3. Where can you score on the rack?
4. Have there been any significant changes to your bot since the beginning of the season?

Thanks so much and I can't wait to see you guys in St. Louis!

I'm not from 78, but I can give you some answers based on 2079's scouting data in Boston. (correct me if I'm off on something...I'm sure someone from 78 will give you better answers when they respond).

1. Yes.

2. They have a swing arm that deploys from the side of their robot and contacts the pole. The minibot is spring-loaded back on a platform, and when released it springs toward the pole and drives itself up. Their minibot is in the 1-1.5 second range.

3. All levels.
