[quote=Rich Kressly;921146]I wanted so badly to find a way to do something on the vert(s), but we just didn't get that figured out. Small and effective machine.QUOTE]

It's been a real challenge so far this year packaging everything into a small footprint. The hanger in this video needs a lot of tweaking before it can fit! Our white board of "things-to-do" is a mile long, so this last week is going to be busy...

Looks great guys!! Can't wait to see it in Manchester... Good Luck This year!!!

Simplicity at its best.

The idea for your hanging system is ingenious along with the fact that your vacuum posssessing system works very efficiently (according to the claims of your performance for 5 minutes).

I also love your kicking mech; nice little hammer

See you in GSR.

Cool lifter, I was hoping to see one like that pop up somewhere! If your driver is good enough at lining it up you could have one of the fastest hanging robots out there.

In my humble opinion, 78's real strength has always been their drive crew. Even if a fork truck landed on their crate and they fielded a box-on-wheels-8-hour-miracle they'd find their way into the finals.

impressive, nice job

In 2008 our robot ended up a lot like yours somewhat inspired by your early disclosure on week three. It's cool to see that this time we decided on a very similar mechanism for hanging with no inside knowledge!

Truer words have not been spoken, 78 produces some amazing drivers and robots.

When you have one of the best coaches in FIRST, magic happens!

Love the hanging mechanism. Very similar to what we are doing :O

[Joe Johnson]

Awesome. You'll be playing after lunch on Saturday, that is certain!

Cheers,

Looks great. Does it drive over the bump?

[GaryVoshol]

I show my wife about 1 video or picture per week. This was one for her to see. Great job, guys.

I like the climber, awesome job.
