Since everyone is going to be refreshing C D all week waiting for divisions to be released I decided to post a little teaser. After coming home from winning the Boston Regional along with legendary teams 125 and 126 we went back to work.
At our first regional we were able to shoot 2 loads of white disks and climb for 10. We were still tuning in our mechanism and was not selected to advance into the elimination rounds.
In Boston climbing for the 30 points 4 times in a row at the end of qualifications got us noticed. When you add on our consistent 2 point autonomous for 12 points and our ability to raise our hooks to the full height and play some solid defense* on a powerful full court shooter was enough to get us picked by the #1 seeded alliance.
Since then we have used our second robot to undergo some upgrades. Our climber is much MUCH MUCH more consistent, the improved drive train cuts down on alignment time, and we added the dumping mechanism.
We are working on our 18 point autonomous and on driver training but I think we are capable of 18 + 12 + 30 + 20 = 80 in at least one match.
27 Second Climb + Dump
33 Second Climb + Dump + Alignment
We look forward to seeing all of you at Champs and we hope to be a potential candidate as the third robot on a strong alliance!
