1208 at week 3

[EOC]

Our students have been working very hard to reach the goal of having a working robot after week three. In fact, we are one day away form having two working robots!

Very nice. One question: Can you load from the feeder station by putting your shooter in reverse?

Coming together nicely this year! Question is it just a fixed angle or has different positions?

The angle is adjustable.

Now the big question...
Can it climb?

That robot looks really nice.

Amazing job getting that together so early, I have a feeling that 1208 is gonna have some really good driving this year.

I love how simple this design is and probably the best floor pickup system I have seen so far. Very nice work.

With three weeks of practice and improvements you're going to be very good.

Really nice floor pickup! Impressed at how well the polycord works.

That looks pretty sweet!

One thing I would consider doing is putting some kind of cover around your shooter wheel. If another robot were to hit that something is going to get destroyed and/or flung across the field.

I clicked on your link thinking that this video would just be a rick roll.. Once I had finished replaying your video around ten times I looked at another one of our team's mentors and said that I knew who one of the top five seeds will be in St. Louis this year. This is a great job 1208 as you guys continue to inspire the St. Louis area with your terrific work. The Shockers will enjoy competing with the Metool Birgade this year at SLU.

One Quick Question. Am I right to assume that you guys will be going for a 24 point auto and 10 point hang this year.

Three Quick Side Notes on FRC Team 1208. In 2012 The Metool Birgade was one of only two teams to compete in both Missouri Regional Finals.(1986) In 2012 The Metool Birgade won both Rockwell Innovation in Control Awards in Missouri. They also finished 7-2 in the Curie Division last year. Thanks for continuing to set the bar higher in Missouri.
