About the bot:

Also, for those interested some details about this past season.
We would like to bring to your attention a great robot from Minnesota: FRC 2052, KnightKrawler from Irondale High School in New Brighton. In its 7th year, 2052 earned its first Regional win at the Lake Superior Regional. Seeded 9th overall, KnightKrawler relied on its excellent scouting data to decline a pick from the 2nd seed, eventually becoming the 7th seed alliance captain. 2052 then picked 16th-ranked 2062 and 31st-ranked 4011 to form an alliance based on autonomous scoring, quick shooting, 10-pt climbing, and great defense. This alliance upset the 2nd and 3rd seeds on its way to an "all-Cinderella" final, beating out the 8th seeded alliance in three matches. The winning alliance posted the high score of the regional, 154, in the quarterfinals, and scored 99 or higher in every elimination match, except one where a red card was given for contact with the pyramid. The winning alliance then played an exhibition match against the winners from the Northern Lights Regional, the 3rd-seeded alliance of traditional powerhouses 2169, 525, and 3061, with Lake Superior edging out the win 116-113. 2052's robot, "Silverfish," features quick and nimble mechanum drive, a variable-angle curved shooter, ability to quickly load from the feeding station, ability to drive under the pyramid, and a quick 10-pt climber. Excellent driving skills and great coaching and strategy make the most of these features. This highlight video features footage from that match: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hamU_MvbK10.
