An unrelated question -- can you please describe why your wheel base is articulated such that it can "open" and "close"? My students saw this on a video and were confused as to its usefulness.

I saw that video too, my guess is so it can get to all 3 baton dispenser heights.

I found it on Youtube, and it took me a long time to find it because i wasn't worded like you would think. I typed in "FTC CA 10/31/10" and i found it that way, hope that helped.

The rules say you must start within an 18" cube... since the team wanted to be able to control the grab of batons, and a corner where they can store the goal, (they can push it over the mountain), they built their bot to expand. At full expansion it can go to 26" wide... Plus, it raises and lowers the center of gravity, and gives a very solid base to move the arm around.

Also... they thought it was cool.

The arm they have on the robot for that tournament (where the video is) is not the one they will be using at NorCal state in January... it was way too slow and not accurate enough. That's why they really didn't try to score.

They also did not have any real autonomous ready at the 10/31 tournament. That won't be the case by January...
