Love it. Epic music too!

You don't get robot audio in the video, but the sound of the catapult winding up is absolutely terrifying.

So awesome, looks like 11 is in for another great year after their awesome 2013 campaign.

I'm trying to figure out how you get variability in your shot, care to share?

We have a hard stop mechanism actuated by pistons that stops the arm before reaching its full speed.
At 1:45, you can see the white pieces near the pivot axle at action.

More like 1:38. That allows us to make the truss lob and layup shots shown right after the shift.

Great Job!....But, something tells me that "Tempest" will not fit in a teapot.

Good Luck!

Looking good Mort! Can't wait for Mount Olive to see this machine live.

I think the song is awesome as well. Just realized that the name of the song is "Black Sun". Very clever MORT, very clever indeed.

Can't wait to see this beast compete in person!

I'd love to say it was planned that way...

Not planned? So the song is "Black Sun" and the robot is black and yellow(sun) and this is totally coincidental? Guess it was meant to be!

After finding the song though I almost wanted to change the name of the robot

I love it. A simple design that capitalizes on 11's strengths - strategy and execution. Paint job is beautiful too. I expect success similar to 2013 with this thing.

Oh, and tell Drost that I hate the music

Because it reminds you of your 2011 arm?
