I love the design Travis...

My team also looked to past designs from other successful teams for this years robot. We wanted a fast and powerful 2 jointed arm using FP's and van doors, like 254/60 from last year, a simple to construct and repair arm using box aluminum, much like 179 from 04, a magnificent 4 speed auto (thank the FIRST gods for team 33), and put it all together with the programming methods of wildstang.

I have a few questions though...

What motors are powering the arms (top/base)?

The end effector looks much like that of 229 and 217 (unless I am mistaken). Is that design collaborated with them, or totally original?

Are those 4 speeds auto shifting? Glad to see another team using a 4 speed, it really is amazing.
