Very cool use of Mecanums on the Recycling Containers.

The mechanum wheels lifting the recycling container inside the gripper is one of the most clever design choices I've seen all year.

That recycling container pickup is awesome. I love the degrees of freedom you have with it, and the mecanum wheels are amazing as well.

Good luck in competition!

At around the 30 second mark I noticed the mecanums on the intake and thought to myself, "why would anyone put mecanums on an intake like that?"...and now I see why

Re: Robot Reveal: 179 Children of The Swamp 2015

While I'll never understand Florida's obsession with mecanum drivetrains...that claw left me speechless. Great robot and great song.

Reminds me of Spectrum's effective mecanum intake last year.

(Disclaimer: I have an irrational bias against mecanum drivetrains in general, regardless of the game.)

That claw is terrific. I knew someone would figure that out and use it. Well done!

Re: Robot Reveal: 179 Children of The Swamp 2015

Wow. That claw has amazing maneuverability, and very clever use of the mecanum wheels. Can't wait to hopefully compete with/against you guys at bayou! It's always nice to have some Florida friends come up for the competition.

Re: Robot Reveal: 179 Children of The Swamp 2015

Am I seeing correctly, are those 4 long air cylinders that move your lift device?
