Constant Improvement: Team 3539 competes at Troy

[Joseph Smith]

Here is a bit of footage of The Byting Bulldogs' robot, Consuela, competing at Troy. Between Waterford and Troy, we made some noticeable and valuable improvements.

a. Fixed magazine jamming. We replaced the L-channel in our magazine with c-channel to better slot the frisbees and prevent jams. We didn't have a single magazine jam at Troy.
b. Improved hanging hooks. We added extensions to our hooks to improve our hanging consistency. We made every attempted hang but one, but that was an unrelated issue.
c. Improved autonomous. We modified the intake slightly to allow a wider pickup, allowing us to pursue a seven-disc auton to considerable success.

That being said, the journey is far from over. We have more changes to make at States- hopefully changes that will improve our shooting speed and consistency, and give us a certain measure of insurance if we lose intake function.

Good luck to all teams and see you at states!
