The mechanism was tested with 5 wraps in the pits while being weighed down with 2 cinder-blocks and 2 sandbags and grabbed the cans in 158 ms AFTER BUCKING NEARLY A FOOT off the ground and shrugging the blocks off. So if our robot could hold it down even better on the field there would be less wasted energy propelling it even faster! Then after auto we would drive off of Tether-Cake and stack some totes while leaving those 2 cans to be tied up the whole match.

And I will most definitely never forget watching this bald, brown thin wisp of a human being charging up to us across the sidelines after the semifinals ended waving his hands and shouting "New Strategy!!!!!! New Strategy!!!!!!" as he rallied the troops for our Finals push.
