I see you went with the arm design rather than a elevator, and now I'm very curious to see if it is up to snuff with past years. And knowing you guys, it probably is. But alas, we will only have the assured chance to see it at WI as I know you're going to Midwest this year instead of 10K Lakes. Best of luck there and I hope to see you at WI!

P.S. Thanks to whomever sent the picture of your minibot to us! It was very helpful even if we don't have it working quite yet...

Curious why the mecanums would be geared slower then the placation. I would assumed you would be running on the mecanums most often and use the placation to push...

I'd expect that they're using their mecanums as "fine tuning" wheels for maneuvering in the scoring area and picking up tubes, in order to save on time having to back up and reposition. Their plactions will likely be used to traverse the open field to get to new tubes and get back to the safe zone.
