Go to Post I'm sure FIRST did the math. They always do the math. Just not math humans use. It was probably given to them from NASA from the aliens so we'd quit predicting the divisions before they release it. - Koko Ed [more]

Re: who is the best capper in this game????

I'm in the same boat as NoRemorse...

121 has a really cool design for big balls. We have a lower arm that swings up and down with a thresher. This thresher can pick up a big ball off the ground and is also used for knocking the 10pt ball and moving mobile goals.

The upper arm also swings up and down, and has a belt. This belt sucks balls in, as opposed to the lower arm's thresher, which sucks them up. Using these two arms, we can move and efficiently manipulate two big balls at the same time. I don't think any other team can do that, really.

We have only missed 3 out of all attempted caps at all regionals/nationals combined. 1 at BAE, 1 at UTC, and one in GA. In our of our qualification matches at Nats, our match was stopped halfway through (1 minute was left), because a small ball hadn't fallen out of the drop (or something like that). When they stopped the match, we had already capped two goals. During the rematch, we capped the two goals again, showing that we can cap four goals in less than 3 minutes.

I really really like 980s arm that can get the ball in autonomous. That is some amazing programming and engineering!
