I am impressed! great job guys!

Wow. Just... wow.

Nice bot. I like the huge feeder opposite the shooter. When partnered with bots like this we might feed you our 2 balls during Autonomous from behind. In theory you could have balls coming in from 2 bots (if you run your intake during auto).

How were you lining up to shoot? My team was under the impression that a robot would need some sort of vision targeting or driver station camera feed (for manual targeting) in order to shoot accurately. But it doesn't look like you have a camera...

My favorite robot of the season so far !

The roller arm has a hypnotic effect, What motor gearbox do you use for the roller arm ?

Yet another 1918 robot with a design that I hate myself for not thinking of. Can't wait to see it play.

[Gerdee]

This looks amazing, great job on making another awesome bot!

[Akash Rastogi]

Really great stuff from 1918 yet again. This robot is legit.

IIRC, we use a single BB P60 for the roller arm at a 64:1 reduction ratio. The extended arm is driven by a pneumatics tube (the orange thing) being powered by the roller claw inside the frame perimeter.

How tall is the robot at it's highest point?

Word has it that we won't see you guys at Traverse again.

[flippy147852]

That is correct, unfortunately. We didn't want back to back events, so we switched to Gull Lake instead. Will you guys be at Troy?
