We use a MaxBotix ultrasonic sensor for continuous distance measurement. When the result is within our shot range the color of our LEDs change, using three different colors to indicate how close we are to the center of our shot range.

Awesome robot as always from 1986, I love all the passing demonstrations and mecnaum collector.

Hey thanks. While we are a very capable shooter, our focus with this machine is on ball handling. Assists are where the points are at, so we focused on the skills needed to be the play maker. A "run and gun" robot cannot win this game by themselves, we plan to play well with others.

I'm very glad more teams are thinking this way. From the way CD was going for a while there, I thought we were alone in the world of pass first robots.

I also want to second this line of thinking. Every video seemed to focus so much on shooting with maybe a little highlight of the intake. Being a good playmaker, passer, set up guy, etc. seemed to be completely overlooked and maybe taken for granted by most teams.

We designed ours to be a reliable scorer when needed obviously (hot goal auton being the major focus), but the ability to feed others (and in multiple robot friendly ways) was a huge priority. Little dump passes, lofting truss passes, long distance outlet passes, and quick reverse intake roll passes are all in our toolbox we can dive into for racking up assists.

Hopefully, we'll get the chance to toss that large ball around together this week.

I completely agree. I think (and hope) it was just an oversight by teams' media members, but there are several elite teams' videos that fail to highlight intake or passing completely.

Great video and robot, 1986. It's been real fun to see your team improve over the years. I'm looking forward to seeing it in person later this week.

Great Bot guys. But I didn't see the angry eyes.
The digital air pressure gauges are great, we have a pair on SIDEWINDER this year.

Oh they are on there. The robot looks like its scowling at you when running around. The digital pressure gage is pretty cool.

I told them it would be a crime not to put an eye in their top roller and dinosaur teeth along the curves. It Really looks like some kind of animal.

Nice bot! I can tell you guys put a lot of work into it to make it work so smooth. I noticed a few frames of rough top in the video, what do you guys use that for?
Can't wait to see you at KC

Such teeth would sadly be inappropriate. The eyes are based on the logo of our long-time sponsor, Billy Goat Industries. As you might guess, their logo does not include anything saurian or avian. Or anything with sharp teeth.
