This machine was amazing to see in action, that six wheel WCD covered the field in no time at all. Elevator was really quick as well.

Great machine from the 72/399 crew! Reminded our team of a certain 2011 World Champion robot as well...

Gotta say it was the best looking robot at the Palm Springs tournament.

Getting those rings on/off of the field elements was TOUGH and a lot of teams were struggling with it.

Honestly, this was probably the toughest part of the game thus far for us. The difficulty of dispensing(no floor load for us ) has prompted a redesign of the end effector, the "bucket".

For anyone interested, we finished as finalists at our first event as a member of the #1 alliance.
We hope to come back strong at our home event at Antelope Valley and qualify for LA Championships in March!

Expect a reveal video in the next few days...

Floor loading is rare. Why?? We did it and it worked out great for us. We clear the dispenser in auton, and never have to go back there again.

I would have just stuck the rest of the motors on the drive train.

Great Design, does it have a drop center for the center wheel? If so, how much?

Re: pic: FTC 72: Typhoon
Based on the photo here, I only see one output from the bottom of the NXT brick. Assuming this goes to the motor/servo controller chain, is it the case that this robot has NO sensors on it?

It looks like there are encoders on the drive at the very least.
