You might want to pay closer attention to the first 5 seconds of the video.

It's a shame you are not going to San Antonio this year

Teleoperated: I have to say, Robonauts would take the teleoperated period based off of their ability to fire off full court. Titanium, while bringing a strong, accurate shooter to the table, have not yet shown off an ability to fire full court. In this one on one, Robonauts do not have to worry about heavy defense, so they would be able to fire off all 45 discs for an easy 135 points, and have time to spare to get in place for a climb. Titanium requires a 4 disc cycle, and as stated, they have a 17 second cycle. As they also need some climb time, that affords them 5 cycles, for 60 points.
Titanium - 102pts
Robonauts - 153pts.

End Game: Robonauts might just take the end game, and for one very specific reason. Colored discs. As Titanium climbs on the inside, it would be difficult for them in their current configuration to score the colored discs. Robonauts, however, climb on the outside and would be easily able to "punt" the colored discs in and I would be surprised if they do not. But, as this ability has not been shown yet, I am unable to award them the extra 20 points, *as their shooter faces the wrong direction. Thus, each robot receives 30 points.

I imagine that in this hypothetical match titanium would just sit and block 118, instead of attempting to score. Full court shooting from that low is pretty easy to stop.
Even in this hypothetical scenario it would still be much closer than you make it out to be. And if I was selecting for a real world alliance 1986 would win out in my books.

You can definitely figure out who to pick first for your alliance from a minute and a half of video of teams showing only their finest moments, all alone, on their practice fields...

Right?

Right?

seeing as that's all we've got to go on right now... yes!

may i know the technical specs of the robot.
-type of wheel
-gear box used
-piston and motors

[kingbrandon14]

Yes, what kind of wheel(s) are used for the shooter? Are they custom or were you just able to buy them?

While I was at LSR I had a chance to see them do some repair on their shooting wheel. From what I saw, All it was was a round piece of foam spray glued onto a disk that was spun by a mini cim. Quite innovative if you ask me..

Now that the season is over, does anybody know what ended up happening to 118's 30 point climber? I loved the design that they showed in their video, but I never saw a full video of it climbing.

They had to take off their 30 point climber due to weight issues.

Partially true.

They also looked at how long it took to climb to 30 and decided that they could score more points by cycling rather than by climbing. Also the falling factor came into play.

After they took their climber off they reinforced other areas of the frame, so if they were to re-attach their climber now, they would have weight issues.

Perfect IRI addition? I would love to see this climber in action.

I doubt it. Even 254's uber fast 30 point climber was barely worth it most of the time.

If they add it it would also probably be a completely new design. From what I heard they weren't happy at all with that climber, and believed there was no way for them to make it fast enough to make it worth it. Also, the current design interferes with their more effective cycling HP feed.
