[pandamonium]

We should make a list of FCS cyclers climbers dumpers and 7 point atonomous robots

Newton, here we (Team 2252) come. I cannot wait to see all the great robots next week. I've been watching (online) them all all season, now it will be live.

I'm so excited SPAM is on Newton. I'm looking forward to seeing in person all these robots I'm pre-scouting.

Our robot looks a little different than it did in our reveal video. Our floor pick-up was removed, and our human loading was improved. We've refined our full-court shooting both in accuracy and speed. We can empty the alliance station of discs in under 50 seconds with no loss of accuracy. We're comfortable cycling to the pyramid or spotting up and shooting from anywhere else on the court.

I'm impressed with the quality of robots I see in the Newton field (especially you Michiganders... y'all are incredible). I disagree with the supposed "weakness" of Newton this year. This was said about Galileo last year, but Gali was able to put together some impressive alliances because of depth. I expect the same from Newton this year.

Best of luck, everyone!

We are in the Newton Division along with our friends, the Holy Cows, team 1538.
Code Orange (from Orange County, California), FRC Team 3476, presents "Highlights" of our robot from our 2013 season at this YouTube link:

We shoot our 3 starting discs into the 6 point goal in Autonomous. Then we can pick up 4 discs from the floor and shoot them also. Our 2-speed gear box allows us to both quickly move around and to push others when needed. Our 4 powerful shooter motors and fast aiming setup allow us to score discs from many positions. Watch this video and see how fast our human loader is and how we suck discs off the floor. We have a fast pre- or post-buzzer 10 point pneumatic hanger.
Our alliances in our second regional (Inland Empire) scored some of the highest match points in the country: 125, 147, 149, 153, 169.

We have a different video in the Robot Showcase thread at:

See you in St. Louis!!!

Team 1569 (Haywire) is incredibly excited to be in Newton this year!!! Can't wait to go out there and show everyone what we have, and to see all the other incredible robots
Less than five days remaining!!!

1538 just won their match, went undefeated, and clinched the #1 spot.

217 as well I believe.

[Kageshini]

3997's new feeding mechanism is ready to compete with some of the big names, and hopefully make a name for ourselves!
100% 3 point autonomous around 4-6 trips of 4 with new feeder and 10 point hang, we're ready!

Y'all definitely did well at Alamo, I can't wait to see your improvements! 4063 (our alliance partners from both Alamo and Hub City) are helping us get a shooter going so that we can replace our dumper and put up 18 pts in autonomous before we go play defense...can't wait for champs!

Fun Fact: We played against 3997 in the Finals at Alamo, and we played against 1986 and 3931 in the finals at Hub City...and now we'll be seeing them on Newton!

They usually switch it up year to year. Although i think it's usually Mark? Don't quote me on that though.
