Team 2265 The Fe Maidens

Name: Rosie the Riveted

Dimensions: At ramp- 37” x 27” x 13” (with ramp flat)
At highest point-37” x 27” x 36”

Weight: 119 lbs.

Defense: Our robot is really hard to push around, and is relatively fast. Defense is no problem.
Offense: We have both an arm & a ramp. The ramp can fit 2 robots tandem, the arm can score ringers most easily on the bottom row.

Our scouting needs are getting smaller. We are looking for information on teams: 49, 122, 128, 614, 1311, 1657, 2083, and 2217.

Thanks!

Ken

Kinda late now, since you quoted my post and all
I'm glad that 1089 has slipped under the radar this far, I hear we're in for a good competition this weekend!
