Is it bad that I've watched this like 20 times repeatedly and I still haven't gotten over how amazing it is?
To quote the absolutely perfect song from the vid, "It's gold, fool" <3

Your team always comes out with an outstanding robot each year!!! I LOVE that claw design for the bins! It blew my mind as soon as I saw that, I had to watch it over again a few times!

What are you guys using to tension your intake wheels?

What is the purpose of the tiny omni wheels?

They are definitely for acceleration

probably to prevent tipping forward and catching on the step.

Amazing robot again!

The FRC equivalent of a microphone drop?

I love that wrist. It's pure mechanical poetry. For 2015, this is the definition of versatile utility bot. Plug and play in any role, at any location, and be exceptional.

Surprisingly, there's some stuff here that functionally resembles another 2015 bot I may or may not be particularly familiar with...

Amazing job, as always, guys! Looking forward to seeing it in action on the field.

Look who (what) is in the background

My jaw literally dropped when I saw the trash bin spin around!

Lol...suggesting this to 987...

You're so right, that's my attitude toward competing at Dallas next week. A week one regional with so many powerhouses and rising stars? No one is top dog at Dallas this year until the field lights go green on the last finals match.

An astronaut dummy? I don't get it.

I believe that is a "Robonaut", which is the technical term for a robotic astronaut. A fitting pun for a 118 video!

Excellence in execution, as always. Giving us a lot to think about with our 30 pound allowance and time prior to first regional.
