I think we're doing something wrong... week 2 and we still have people designing the ultimate climbing mechanism

[Bob Steele]

I love it... a nice quick 10 points.

Well done!!

Great job. I wondered if one of those would work. Very nice!

[Samwaldo]

this is exactly what were thinking! were gonna be shooting discs like crazy all match and during the last 2-5 seconds were going to make a mad dash to the pyramid and get an easy 10 points. (were still looking into a level 3 climb)

Out of curiosity, how is that a bad thing? If some teams would like to go for the top then they can have at it. Shooting this year is much easier than last year since you don't have to account for the trajectory; but I'd also like someone on my alliance who would be able to score the 30, preferably 50, points that are available on the Pyramid.

Thank you George for posting this video.

This being our team's first (no pun intended) competition, we decided to focus a bit more on the easier, more achievable goals. We still have a bit of tweaking to do before we build the actual competition robot.

We wish everyone the best of luck in building their robots and we hope to see you on the playing field!

Genious. Amazing points per time ratio. Cant say how much I adore this design. leaves an amazing amount for a teleop.

Very nicely done, glad someone was able to post a video of the design.
