1114's HARPOONS

While I understand that this video has been circulating around, I don't think it would be respectful to post it without the explicit permission of 1114.

Im not sure. I wasnt there, but if they were doing it in the pits I cant imagine they were super worried about privacy. They certainly didnt ask the guy filming to stop, look away or go away.

Reguardless, Im not going to lie that looks TERRIFYING. I hope that if they dont deploy them in auton that they have something very good to prevent them from firing unintentionally. A harpoon to the ref is not a good way to make friends on the fields

Once you step into a public venue it's fair game.

I want to see how these end up being used come elims. if they reel in the cans thats fine, but if they dont. someone might bring across a souvenir with them when they pull the cans from the other side. Which may result in a red card under the right conditions for the harpoon user. Speculation.

I'm pretty excited to see that thing in action.

Whoa. All their eggs in one basket it appears? I wonder if they'll wait until semifinals in case it doesn't work?

It looks like team 900's new robot is ready to go... And I happen to know that it HAS passed inspection!

Doubtful, as average still matters. I think they will wait until finals.

I think they might use it for the last semifinal match assuming they have a good average coming into that match.

It will be 1114 vs 1678 for SF-6

We may be much more likely to see it now with 1114's SideSwipe-mounted canburglar all twisted up after that last match.

After 1114 broke in the second round of the semi's, 900 packed up the robot into the transport configuration... Think we'll see it in a few minutes?

Sure looks like 1923/1114/148 on the field to me...
