What about Adam's dance moves?!?!?!

That would have been a great second pick at almost any PNW district.

I'd argue first pick.

Would probably be a 1st seed robot @ a bunch of events...

NOICE
That's actually quite good. The shooter appears to be faster than 254's was.
Are the intake wheels the same ones you used this year?

Yeah, if that robot didnt play the exact same role as our robot it would be very appealing for a first pick.

Maybe I'm just not seeing it, but what causes the ball to be pushed up and out the shooter? Is it the action of the intake folding in all the way that causes this, or is there a separate mechanism to push it upward when it's time to shoot?

Didn't almost every robot play the same role (more or less)?

Finisher vs. Trusser vs. Inbounder, etc.

This is pretty clearly built to be a finisher, like 254 was for the most part.

It's funny because I remember one of their mentors saying they designed to be the middle player (like they did at Waterloo), but they ended up being the best finisher in the world.

I'm really proud of the 973 crew for making this robot work so well. The robot was made in about two shop days total, and I feel is within the skill set of most FRC teams.

More details will follow later.
