Mecanum at swamp and swerve 2 days later... HOW?

And we will gladly throw to you guys! I don't remember a single missed catch at scrimmage (at least when we threw it).

Your robot looks really good!

I may be wrong but I believe that your bumpers are not completely legal.

R19
ROBOTS are required to use BUMPERS to protect all outside corners of the FRAME PERIMETER. For adequate protection, at least 8 in. of BUMPER must be placed on each side of each outside corner (see Figure 4-5). If a side is shorter than 8 in., the entire side must be protected by BUMPER (see Figure 4-6). For the purposes of R19, a round or circular FRAME PERIMETER has an infinite number of corners.

Ah I misread the rule.

But since there is an "infinite number of corners" does that mean an infinite amount of sides less than 8 inches (which would need to be covered)? Hmm

Nice, unique robot design,

Only thing I would be concerned about is an entanglement hazard with that big net you have.

True, thanks for the tip. I don't think it'll be an issue, but we'll keep an eye on it.

I have no idea what to think right now. I just wanted to point that out. It may be time to get a question in the Q and A.

Haha okay, thanks for bringing it up!

hahaha, I knew we'd get some weird responses to that xD

Our swerve was not quite ready by Saturday, so we could not use it then! We made mecanum mounts for a backup since swerve could go wrong.

It was great to practice with you guys too! Hopefully the passing/catching will continue in Orlando and South Florida!
