I would assume that they are from Vulcan Spring. Each team can get 6 free springs if you visit their site: http://info.vulcanspring.com/first-robotics-competition

We have a couple on our robot this year.

Yesterday, I saw a picture of the front of your robot with the name/logo Skyhawk on FB.
Once I saw that I knew.....
We had members unofficially call ours "Condor" for similar reasons.
Thank God we decided to put on cabled turnbuckles for bracing.

Great looking robot design, quality and craftsmanship.

See you in Hawaii.

Amazing reveal video (as always) and equally as great robot.
Looking forward to seeing it in competition!

I absolutely love the extendable arms as this is a genius idea to maximize the score as you said. The more totes and cans = the more points

[Nathan Streeter]

#rollerclaw... seriously, love the 'universal' roller claw, especially because it looks like it'll be so rare this year.

Awesome video and robot as always. What recording equipment/software did you use?

After watching the video a few times, I noticed that there aren't any shots of SkyHawk picking up more than one tote/recycling container. Is this just a coincidence or did you design it that way?

Love the production, as always.

Curious - did the number labels on your PDP come orange, instead of the usual green?

We're able to pick up ~4 totes and a bin at a time, but it gets a little sketchy if we have to place it on top of other stacks of totes. While testing, we found that doing cycles of 1 stack onto the Scoring Platform were more efficient, due to how cramped it is in between the STEP and the Platform.

I think i cried a single tear of joy. its... its so beautiful!

Incredible video and solid machine, as always!

Well done 610!

Looks like a solid robot, and please buy your video crew several cookies. They've earned it.

That container grasping mechanism is outstanding, Great job!

You can buy a constant force spring off scorpion springs or any other company. But they also come in the kit of parts for some regions

Very high quality reveal video and robot. I liked the explanations from the students.

Nice work.
