Team 1503: This is Sparfox, this is Spartonics. [Video]

At long-last, here's a video one of our first-year students stitched together.

We're really looking forward to Pittsburgh this week. See you on the field!

I've been waiting for this since Bag Day and It's even better than I thought. That shot over the pyramid is just awesome. I have no clue if this will work in competition but I'm so glad you made it and I really hope it does. It's my new favorite UA robot and the only thing I can say is I want one.

I just had one of those, holy crap that's awesome why didn't we think of that moments. That is really awesome and innovative! Although I'm sad I didn't see you guys do a barrel roll.

Re: Team 1503: This is Sparfox, this is Spartonics. [Video]

This might be my favourite robot this year, just because it's so unconventional, yet wildly effective. I can't wait to see how it performs in Pittsburgh.

Mind making it accessible for mobile viewers? I won't have access to a computer for a few days but I would love to see the robot nonetheless, especially since Karthik sees it has his favourite.

It's likely not viewable on mobile because of the Jet song copyrights.

Re: Team 1503: This is Sparfox, this is Spartonics. [Video]

To be honest with you guys, I do believe that if you limit your stopping and hesitation to shoot to 1-2 seconds or even shoot on the go, this could be a solid contender at any event.

Good luck in Pittsburgh.

This was well worth getting out of bed to watch. Wish I could see it in person, but I will definitely be watching you guys on the webcasts.

Re: Team 1503: This is Sparfox, this is Spartonics. [Video]

That is an epic launcher with an extremely fast human load. I really like how your robot is able to descore discs from the 3-pt goal. How are you targeting? It looks completely manual from the video.

Is the targeting manual? I don't think I saw a camera. Even still, brilliant shooter.
