No. The catapult is driven by two stacked pairs of cylinders. In the close range shot, only one pair is used, in the long range shot, both pairs fire simultaneously. The two shot ranges overlap, so our resulting range is full.

Love the use of 4 tape measures! Are they the fat max kind?

Surprisingly, no. We found some even more rigid.

...100% taking a close look at this robot when it comes to Greater KC. 25 different auto modes? What madness is this?

We realized later it was 27, but that would sound far fetched.

Did you guys use the Milwaukee Tape Measures? Those are what we use

For the uptake did you guys just attach it to the drive train and then basically use a shifter that uses one for driving then the other for lifting the robot.

Not Milwaukee, but those were good too.
Yes the lift is powered by a PTO from the drive transmissions.

Looks like it. From the video it seems like there are two tape measures on each side.

Most Mountain Board shops sell them. We are finding that they can wear quickly though with aggressive driving.

If only we could have all the boulders to ourselves like we do in practice.
