Wow! Great job guys, 3 robots is a feat. So any specs you can give us? Looks like you pick up tubes with suction cups, what kind of drive system are you sitting on? Also are there any variations in the robots? (besides color and team number of course)

auto-mode in 9 secs?..*drools*.. yes we're finaly done, and 384 back in action with the same familiar colors... Just more blue this year :-) Sparky 8 (and the other bots) is 112lbs.. What a great season... I truly learned A LOT... My brain is still hurting

*edit*..

We pick up via suction cups, can reach top goal and score reliably. The lift mechanism is an elevator drive system which Crebb can elaborate on.. it's a mecanum drive, and our auto-mode is looking good so far with it's functional camera :-)

They are running on modified AM 1 speed transmissions direct mounted to AM mecanum wheels. We do use suction cups to pick up the tubes and we do so quite efficiently. We can score on all three rows and in autonomous. All robots are as close to identacle as we could get them, but of coure there are wires here and there that went a stray.

The arm is a 3 stage lift run by another AM 1spd transmission powering a a single loop of chain. I will try to post some video to youtube later this week; all I have right now is one video of auto mode gone bad.

Alright, standard question whenever one sees twins or triplets: Why did y'all choose to collaborate? Fun? Economies of very slight scale? Keep mentors from getting spread thin?

Well our decision to collaborate was made by our Mentors, and accepted by me and my peers (of all three schools). It wasn't so much financial reason (as far as I know), as a learning situation. We chose this option to better ourselves as teams and learn from one another, and the larger influx of engineers participating really caused the learning curve to reach further lengths. We shared resources, engineers, students, problems, solutions, and closed school rivalry gaps, made by the sports community at our school.
Most all of us enjoyed this oppurtunity, and personaly speaking it was a fun and great experience. I learned A LOT, and I feel i'm better at what I do now, and have more indepth knowledge.

Short answer: Fun, learning, and resources (sort of)

From an asthetic perspective, all three look incredible. The Black Pearl looks amazing in black, the white and red of godwin looks really sweet, and of course, Sparky looks A++ like usual!
