Leave it to team 33 to try and hold as many field elements a possible (remember last year?!?!!)

Good job guys, looks like you have another strong competitive bot.

does it have omni drive?

It did, but due to a few problems with the swerve motors not being powerful enough, the crab drive was swapped for a normal skid steer at the Detroit regional.

Stop by the 33 pits in Atlanta and check out the modular drive display, it's pretty cool. Basically, 4 bolts and 2 wire connections and the whole drive system can be changed.

The picture below is the best picture on the Killer Bees website of the new gripper. I'm posting it here because they're huge on the site, I made it smaller so it'll load faster for all you dial up users. Anyways, this picture is from Detroit, and the gripper has since been changed AGAIN, but it's the same basic design. The only difference is the middle finger is active, allowing it to load from the auto loader without moving the arm at all. There were talks of modifying the middle finger to once again store tetras, but I'm not sure what happened with that.

I'm excited to see you guys perform again. Leave it to 33 to build another superb robot!

yeah since Detroit we've done both of those modifications
now the two side prongs of the pitchfork fold in using pnuematics, this really helps because it allows us to pick up tetras from in side the robot, which saves alot of time because we dont have to go back to the loader to get a new tetra every time we cap

You guys had one amazing robot this year and it was an honor to work alongside you and Buzz in Atlanta.
