Awesome! After trying to have a 30pt climber and a similar shooter sharing space on our robot we ended up with a similar set up. Shooter put on top of a 10pt climber.
Your robot looks nicer though.

Ultra clean looking bot. Looking forward to playing together again in Maine! Good luck at GSR next weekend.

Hi Cam, thanks for the kind words. We will not be competing in Boston this year...just BAE in NH and Pine Tree in Maine. Good luck!

Gorgeous bot, and might I add those are some of the nicest bumpers I've seen...

[Nathan Streeter]

Another great-looking robot from 78... looking forward to playing with you at Granite State!

Wow! That looks way nicer than much of the professionally designed and constructed equipment that we make and buy.

[Jeff Waegelin]

Looks great as always, guys! Very sharp and clean, and the smoked Lexan is a great look. Hope to get a chance to see it in person in St. Louis!

[Jay Trzaskos]

I always expect a clean robot from you guys, and you never fail to disappoint. the smoked Lexan is always a plus as well. I'm not going to be in NH, but I'll be watching to see this thing in action.

If this is sarcasm, you don't know Jack about Air Strike.

Could you post a video of the frisbee giong all the way from the floor to the shooter? (And of course, shoot it once it gets there!)

The robot looks awesome. Although, it seems like it would be rather easy to tip over if hit from the wrong angle or even on quick turns. No?

Hi Brandon. We don't pick up off the floor. The only video I know of is the teaser that was posted a few days ago. I'll ask around to see if there is any video to post. We will be competing next week at BAE...be sure to check out the webcast if there is one!

There is a fair amount of weight in the chassis..and our drivers have had plenty of time on the sticks to smooth out their driving. Should be a fun game to see played!

And thanks to all for the kind words...lots of hard work this year hopefully will pay off!

Beautiful robot as always guys, can't wait to see it in person on Thursday! Also, would you mind answering a few questions?

What is your drive train?
What kind of shooter is that?
Do you have a hanger? If so where does it hang at?

Thanks, amd Good Luck!
