I was just wondering if you are concerned about the bridge manipulator blocking/separating your team number?

Hrrm..... We haven't really thought about that before, however because that part will only be in its lowered position for a short amount of time, I don't think we need to be concerned about splitting the number. If that part were stay down for a large part o the match, I would be concerned about it covering the numbers.

If you were worried, you could replace the pointy bit with clear polycarbonate. Robot looks awesome-- great job!

Were back from reveal and we finally got some video of our shooter operating in a room with a high ceiling: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxjSHXYgjiQ

But, In this video the shooter is limited to 6 volts by software, the only thing I know is that it is spinning at or below 4000 rpm.

I like the robot, well done. However, doesn't the two part mechanism for putting down the bridge violate the single appendage rule? I might not be seeing it, but it doesn't appear to be one contiguous appendage outside the frame. If this indeed is the case, a quick fix might be just to tie a cable/string from one side to the other so that they are "contiguous".

We have a piece of threaded rod connecting the two sides when it is outside the frame perimeter.
