Nice video too!
Thanks

The sonar sensors work really well. It's actually programmed to display on the OI's readout how far away (in inches) you are from the wall/goal/object the sensor is seeing. After alot of trial and error with our door, we finally got it in the right spot to drop the door and dump the load.

Robot weighs in at 119.57lbs, w/o bumpers. Bumpers weigh 14.88lbs.

Does anyone on your team own safety glasses?
If you're refering to the top (with the black cloth), there is a steel cable that is looped around the inside of the bot at the top, which goes back to a window motor with a spool on it. At the beginning of the match, the spool is wound up, so the "wings" are basically closed, and fit into the size limit. Once the match starts, the drivers can reverse the spool, and the wings are pulled out (see the bungee cords? we actually started with springs, but we couldn't find the ones we wanted, and the ones we tried kept getting sprung.

As for safety glasses .. we don't wear them when we're programming If someone had a drill out, or any other power tool, they would be required to have safety glasses on .. or suffer the wrath of me (I'm actually pretty strict about it)

You can see it from a few more angles here.
