I noticed that too! As always, awesome work Robowranglers! The best clip I could find from the video is below. Looks like a well built machine!

I would not be surprised to see this, as someone from 148 posted questions in the Q/A related to this exact function. :-)

The best part is that shot was the very first attempt we filmed.

There was almost a Diet Coke spit take off camera at 0:42; too bad we didn't catch that on video.

Not really, only for a few minutes. But he did miss about 40 shots after he made that one, trying to do it again.

The lights are nice.

I'm getting carpel tunnel double clicking the play/pause button fast enough to see all of the photos. There's an awesome overall picture at the 28-second mark.

Joe, I knew it was only a matter of time before it was released. Now that I have some WiFi in the airport, I can post again.

First off, 148 you guys never cease to amaze me (and the rest of the FIRST community). I am really digging the video even though I haven't been able to slow it down and really analyze it enough to get much out of it.

I am sure I will sit down and try to reverse engineer this year's design much like I have the past few years. I must say that plate gears are amazing and I have learned a lot from them. I wonder what "breakthrough" you guys have made this year, I am sure I will have it remade at work like I did last years lower arm that raised the scoring arm.

I, like many others, really hope that you release a full length video again. Even if it midway through the season or even the end of the season.

Goodluck and hopefully I can see you guys at Champs again!

Maybe there is no try, there is just - do. And he did. And it was amazing.
