We tried tater tots in trials, they tended to tear in two under tipping tension.

Re: Team Titanium's Teeter-Totter Talons

Being a team that competed at the St. Louis Regional your robot was GREAT! One thing that I did notice was sometimes during the balancing the talons moving would cause your bridge to become UN-balanced. If there was a way for your robot to retract the talons without moving the complete arm, I do believe it would help you balance more.

But just a thought

Re: Team Titanium's Teeter-Totter Talons

They are off the ground during balance and do not actually need to be retracted. I don't recall their retraction ever spoiling the balance. We did push too hard once and tipped the other way, then used them again on the second tip.

Re: Team Titanium's Teeter-Totter Talons

Looks like you made at least some improvements since KC. Not that your robot wasn't good enough anyway... Congratulations on such an amazing robot
