This year's robot, a few hours prior to bagging. We are very proud of what it can do!

-Scores four discs consistently from positions around the base of the pyramid in the 3 and 2 point goals.
-12 points in autonomous.
-10 point hang achieved in less than one second via passive "wings" made of HDPE.
-84" tall "Angelic Wall" that can be installed for defensive play.
-Robust design with minimal moving parts; few things to fail=consistent on-the-field performance.
