15th seed

4 ft. 120 lbs.

Drive Train: Standard, two transmissions(AndyMark), two motors(CIM), four FIRST KOP wheels
we have a clearance of over 3-4", so bascially, we can climb any ramp or lift
Our chassis driver has been reliable at every single time we had to get onto the ramp
(if your ramp is more than 45 degrees, if possible, be nice to climb a ramp with some sort of traction-ex. grip tape)

Offense:
We on average score 4 to 5 rings on our own

-Arm is a garage door opener with a polycarbonate gripper/claw, very reliable and has not broken yet
-Arm is raised by the use of a jack lift we added a motor to.
-our drivers have excellent communication when scoring each tube
can score on all three levels

Ramp:
-50 degree slope, has grip tape on it for added traction
-requires other bot to have a minimum 2.5" clearance (If bot had traction wheels, perfect)
-platform holds one bot 12"
-has no guard rail at edge of platform to stop bot from launching off platform if bot goes on ramp at full speed, nor are their guides on ramp
Ramp loads on wide side.
-ramp is 25" out so that if it accidently falls down, we can keep playing because it doesn't exceed 72", won't cause field damage if we drive around with it down - plus or else we'd be overweight
Defense: with me and Julian driving, we play incredible defense - when on defense, me and Julian never even talk, we just do our thing and it works

Autonomous: none

# of Breakdowns: 0, our robot can take many impacts(trust me we can, we kept using the 2006 bot and using it to beat up the 2007 bot until 07 was indestructable-or close to it )
