This robot is amazing...

I'm particularly fond of the wheels on the end of the intake.

Our team just watched this and we were Amazed by your team's pre-planning/CAD for your back plates. Infrared looks awesome.

Thank you, you should notice several 610 helpful hints on this bot (pneumatic tubing handles, Velcro around the battery Anderson connector, etc.)

Also I forgot to mention, the competition robot will have 4 MiniCIMs added to the drive train at our first event. We are just keeping them on the prototype robot for practice.

This looks awesome!
One question, are the 4 inch mecanum wheels on the intake using the 4 inch rollers or the 6 inch rollers?

6in rollers with custom 3D printed purple hubs. We figure we shouldn't waste the real wheels or rollers. We have friends that may run into wheel problems later in the season and we'll be able to help them out with the real wheels. We also can use the proper rollers for future prototype robots or something.

Yea, i was just wondering if you guys found that using non round wheels actually allowed you to get more grip on the ball.

Hands down the most impressive reveal video so far. Absolutely phenomenal. That intake has immediately made me question our design.

Another great looking robot. I've been following the blog pretty close and it's amazing to see how much forethought went in to every piece. Great job guys!

[dtengineering]

First time I've seen mecanums used like that. Brilliant!

We need an award for best non traditional use of a cots component. That intake is phenomenal.
