I like the way you guys don't care about how you pick up totes...
It just goes in!

Super simple way to right toppled cans. I love it.

Also like how you are moving the cans out of the way in auto without tipping them over.

[Kevin Leonard]

Can we just talk about Texas this year. Wow.

[Rob Stehlik]

Love the intake rollers. They seem to handle just about any angle of the totes. Are you controlling the direction of the rollers to straighten the tote automatically? Are there sensors to help with this?

[Jean Tenca]

Awesome robot! Great solution for stacking internally but still being able to output onto the step. I also love how your auto moves the cans without knocking them over. So cool!

Yes, there are ultrasonic sensors embedded in the arms as well as potentiometers on the shafts to determine the position of the arms and orientation of the totes to automatically take in the tote.

Awesome work guys

Can't wait to play against you in the semis :eyeroll:

The intake wheels are Colson Performa 4" x 0.875" wheels from VEXpro driven by two Banebot 550s through 64:1 gearboxes

Nice robot design, being able to reorient the cans like that in autonomous will make your alliance partners love you. Good job.

Everyone knows typing binary into MS Paint is the superior way to program

Another incredible bot from my favorite Texas team! Best of luck this year.

Best Tote Acquisition mechanism so far.

It's gonna be fun to play with you guys in Utah. Here's hoping we can keep pace!
