I'm assuming two small CIMs for the drivetrain.

What else is being used, Are the ramps static or are they FP powered.

The elevator will be different on the competition robot. The setup we have now is way too fast. The speed you see the elevator moving at in that video is only 5/8 of the maximum output. During the fix-it window last week we made a new setup that uses AM planetaries and FP motors, that should be roughly the same speed as what you see in the video.

The ramps will be lifted by gas springs.

That should save a good chunk of weight, right?

You should see our tubes... we've put holes in at least 10.

That looks like a senior picture of a robot.
