Re: Mecanum Einstein this year

It may have been a coin-flip-minibot championship competition ... but 973's deployment was nothing short of lengendary in swinging the probability their way. That thing was ramp-style with 2 naturally-articulating degrees of freedom and 1 driven degree of freedom. It wasn't going to miss the pole by even half a degree, most of the time. I talked to them in the inspection line on Wednesday, and you could tell they put a very large amount of time into that thing before Champs.

It also didn't hurt that they had fastest drive train on the field this year (from what I saw), which gave them the advantage in getting around defense to the towers. The 254/973/1868 drive train in and of itself is an engineering marvel. The fine details of it would be appreciated by most. It's designed up against the edge of constraints in many cases and isn't replicable by most teams (since it probably couldn't be done on a non-CNC mill).
