30 seconds might be a little optomistic but we can definetly have the ball within autonmous. then all we have to do is drive up to the bar and pull our selves up. if someone beats us there we can also cap while not hanging.

The kid in the yellow shirt looks kind of nervous.

Actualy he built our boat hook whinch, which lets us ascend the bar. We were just very tired in that picture, it was a late couple of nights to get everything done. The guys you see there are our midnight work crew(I'm a member) which often worked till 4 AM during the last week.

I will post a picture of the complete robot later with skin, and team standing together, this picture will be from 12:04 on the day of the ship date.

Actually team 343 (Metal-In-Motion) can cap while hanging also, and they're pretty good at it, I saw them do it when they let us come over and use their practice field with them. Nevertheless this is an excellent looking robot, good job.

I can vouch for this because Im the operator for MIM #343 and we did it.
