Nice beautiful robot as always.
I particularly like the bolded above. Comes in handy when trying to unload the last set of 4 discs with less than 5 seconds left.

Re: Team 254 Presents: Overkill

I see you have 2 CIMs driving your shooter and a 6 motor drive- what are you driving your drivetrain with?

Re: Team 254 Presents: Overkill

Beautiful as always, 254.

One question - how many discs can you hold? At your practice day, it seemed like you were only long enough to hold two.

Re: Team 254 Presents: Overkill

Nice photo as always! Also, I see another arm / spatula for picking up frisbees, but this time it serves as a drop down intake. I can't wait to see it in action on the webcasts for San Diego. What a marvel of engineering

Nice CAD model, now post a picture of your robot! oh wait....

Cant wait to see how you deal with the shifting COG when climbing that quickly, this will be a fun robot to watch.

Re: Team 254 Presents: Overkill

Beautiful robot, as always. I love the special kind of elegance 254 brings to their bots. I definitely can't wait to watch the stream to see it in action at San Diego!

I'd imagine there is a funny back story to the name 'Overkill'..?

Re: Team 254 Presents: Overkill

How does the pickup align discs for the conveyor? Passive alignment? Does the width allow you to pick up two discs at the same time, or just make things easier on the drivers?

Beautiful bot.

It can intake 2 discs at the same time and is sorted with a passive funnel that is not shown.

It can hold 4 discs.

This is the most complicated and "Overkill" robot we have built in our history. The name was fitting.

Looks amazing guys! Can't wait to see it compete this weekend and then in person at champs, love everything about it!

One question though, is the front intake roller hinged or stationary?
