Go to Post As everyone knows, our students don't actually design or build the robot, so to make it look like they were working on it for the video, we hid cookies inside the unfinished frame and turned them loose. It looks believable. - Mike Soukup [more]

We ended up having some issues with winch cable fraying when trying to reload the mechanism, so we decided to scrap it and instead concentrate on improving the number of teleop runs per match. Unsurprisingly pulling back 1500 lbs 12" isn't very easy and breaks a lot of things.

Unfortunately, scrapping it led to adding the kettle bell on the back for ballast which caused many of our problems in the finals due to it shifting unexpectedly.
