We cant wait to show off a few new upgrades.

I think this would be a good idea, it could be a way for people who can't see a team's number to identify the team.

Do you guys have any video of your can grabber ?

We ended up only using them once in a match during teleopo. We are making new grabbers that should preform better.

Can you guys grab cans from the middle? How do you deal with knocked over cans?

We cannot grab cans from the middle. If we have a knocked-over can we upright it and then grab it, takes ~5 seconds extra vs. picking up an upright can. Can you give a match number where you used your can burglar? I watched some of your matches last night but never saw it. You guys are looking like a strong bot, especially if you thrown on some fast burglars, and landfill stacking will be valuable.

Yes, we can get cans from the step. We've used it in auto and teleop in our matches.

Looking forward to playing with our buddies 955 and lots of other friends both old ones and new ones to make while we are there!!

Good luck to everyone!!
This could be fun.....

And playing with 1678 for the THIRD year in a row! Makes watching matches with my sister and brother in law much easier when we're on the same field.

We don't have bin grabbers, but we can consume cheesecake rapidly...

At worlds, we should have (finally) the ability to stack with tipped over bins without wasting 15 seconds.

We do not have a video of are bot using auto grabbers but we did do it once during teleop http://www.thebluealliance.com/match/2015ilch_qm54

We will be ready to flip totes right side up and we love the cheesecake and dont mind being tethered to a ramp

I noticed this, too... When we were in Galileo in 2013, there were a few more Michigan teams than this, but again we were kinda isolated. A lot of them went to Curie that year, I think.

It makes me really curious how FIRST decides which teams go to which divisions...

I know right! Hopper and Archimedes have almost all of the big Michigan teams.

Yeah we're two of only four Michigan teams in Newton this year!
