Great looking robot and a good video.
I have one question. The skirts on the side of your bot, do they go all the way to the floor? If so, won't your bot get hung up on or move the loading station triangles?

Wayne,
I'll be in Cleveland that weekend, competing with 229.
I have yet to make it down for the NYC regional, despite much pressure to do so. Hopefully next year.

I'll be at nationals, even if the team isn't. Dad and I are actually teaching one of the Championship conferences together -- Advanced Drivetrain Calculations & Modeling. Nationals is always a blast, wouldn't miss it.

Actually -- we've got many great mentors on this team. All of whom contributed to this robot & this great season. This robot is a team effort, and I'm proud to say I worked with so many great individuals to make it happen.

Kudos to our lovely team leader -- Adrienne Emerson.
She certainly proved to be a much more capable team leader than I ever was. I "blame" this season and robot on her.

Good Luck to 395,
John

You caught us.
217 and 229 collaborated on a mechanism tower design, suiting both teams needs. Bots are similar, not identical.

Karthik-
I'm glad you approve of the music selection. It has been our "theme song" all season. John just kept repeating it during most of our late night work sessions We are looking forward to this weekend as well! I can't imagine anything better then competing/working with my old team (and my sister) in my home town!

Awesome Robot, Great song. You have created a monster. One of the big things i think in this years game is reliability. Yall are solid. thanks for throwing that great clip in the video, definitely my finest moment as a driver. Looking forward to seeing you guys at nats again.
