Rookie Team 4084 Showing up

[farmersvilleRob]

Finally, we got our whole bot together (except in different sections, lol) and here is a video of our CIM powered centrifugal arm shooter with a direct link to the battery at full speed. It is capable of spinning up to ~1100 RPM in <2 seconds. The only reason it slows down is because I pulled the wire off after the first touch because it scared the poop out of me.

Anyways, we will have a special video on stop build day of the whole robot and our specialty autonomous and hybrid gameplay. There really is no shooting for the drivers the robot is 99 % computer and 1% human (drive train only).

Just wait Dallas East! We're showing up to play!

You may trip the breaker.

It shouldn't. Especially if we will be running it lower than that.
