Unfortunately, there's not much to see yet. We were doing okay in practice, but during matches, we had a lot of trouble acquiring totes from the landfill efficiently.

The drive should be called, "Oops, what can we do to fix this?" I made a ridiculous mistake and we had to start the design from scratch at the end of week 3. This drive is a result of that; it was a way to salvage as many of the COTS parts we'd already purchased and to minimize the need to buy many more. In the end, over two robots, the mistake probably cost the team something like $3000.

Kevin -- The chain lift is too complex. Especially our implementation. Y'all made the right choice.

This season's been rough.
