Team 1155 - To the teams that just tore you apart - I sincerely hope you are up against them in competition and are forced to score points FOR them to gain some extra QP's for yourselves.

Hey, I'm sorry!

I wish you luck this year!

That's just a picture. That robot may look flimsy (It really does) in a picture, but look much stronger in real life.

If you can accept my advice, I would protect the battery cable more (If you don't already have some type of cover for your 'bot). Any arm that gets entangled with that cord can snap it, and there you are, sitting on the playing field, with no power. Trust me, I've seen it before, and it's not a pretty sight.

Judging from the pictures, I see you are using pneumatics for your stacker/ lifter. This is a very good idea, and if FIRST took away pneumatics, I don't know what I would do.

Like I said before, good luck this year. That stacker/ lifter actually looks like a VERY GOOD design, and I believe it will work VERY WELL. I know some serious thinking went into it. I also see that you are capable to go under the bar. It's good that you learned this now, since it is very important to be able to navigate the ENTIRE playing field.

For a rookie team, it looks good. Everyone forgets your a rookie team and its your first year. Some people just forget when they were rookies.

Yeh, nice job veteran teams, beating up the rookie team.

Team 1155- do bring with you to the competition- wires,
connectors, spacers and pieces of Lexan. Some of the
veteran FIRST teams at the NYC Regional will help you guys improve on the robot's wiring and robustness.

i think all the confusion is all due to the picture. From the side it looks like the wiring is everywhere, and everything is a mess.
Its just that from this perspective you really can't see how it works.
