Canburglar Mechanisms

Here is one of us "sharing" the RC's with another team.

Grabbed them 7 consecutive times in the Queen City elims. Here's one: https://youtu.be/VRrxaLobL4s

Yep, we (4653) have a canburglaring mechanism for Teleop, and we've practiced it on our practice bot since Bridgewater-Raritan, to hopefully get our Drive Team better accustomed to it. We also may have some auto tactics in the works.
We just hope that everything will work out for MAR Champs.
Can't wait to go!

Excellent example of coordination between teams on an alliance.

That's our bread and butter. We're a very good finisher, and can help our partners make a big contribution even if they don't handle RCs.

Nicely done!
Now all that is needed to complete the choke hold are alliance partners that can use those extra RCs.

In three days, 3467 built one of NECMP's fastest can grabbers out of aluminum shower curtain rods, string and fishing line. Here in Semifinal 1 we beat 175 who had arguably the fast canburglars at the event. Unlike many teams, to make ours larger we made a two-bar system with two cables. To extend, they fell with gravity and retracted by piston.

There's a CAD file somewhere but here's a google drawing.

I loved watching the can fights during elims at States. There was one particular one where one (I believe it was 3322) of them was nearly pulled into the over side of the field. They ended up drawing a penalty because part of their robot was extended over.
