Great functioning robot and beautiful as always. Good luck during the competition season!

[AllenGregoryIV]

Very nice.

Mind if I ask how the shooter feeder works?

Also does it hang?

Kiet/Jon and Crew,

Great Job on the robot, this will be one of the top robots in California this year. Digging the powdercoat and innovative intake/shooter!

Yes, it does hang, just wasn't featured during the photoshoot and SVT.

It'll be a part of our 30 lb allowance.

As for the shooter feeder, it's a drum that has a surface speed of ~150" per second and a roller that assists the feeding process, which is placed on top of the frisbee. This allows us to "rapid fire" frisbees.

Looking great as always. Looking forward to seeing you guys in San Diego in a few weeks.

That's awesome. My next question, what material is on the drum? We thought of something like this but never found a material sticky enough to pull a disc out of the stack while angled.

Juice. Pure, 100% juice.

More gorgeous robots coming from California...
Love the powder-coat, the wheels, and especially the crisp electronics!
Keep on doing what you're doing because you make the west coast shine!

[Joe Ross]

Nice arm.

[sanddrag]

Yet another "why didn't we think of that?" and "wow, we really got this all wrong" moments. Very elegant.

[NXTGeek]

Woah boy San Diego's gonna be great! Can't wait to compete with THUNDER!

[iPenguin]

Holy Cow! I mean...Holy You! err...

Awesome job guys. Love the smooth arm.

[Steven Donow]

Very beautiful robot, I can't wait to watch it compete; really wish I could see this in person. Love the custom painted performance wheels


Also, any particular reason there are no fans on the Talons-as it seems like you are using all Talons.

Beautiful robot. Almost looks like our twin!
