We had a pretty good robot this year, which utilizes a modified forklift design to cap tetras very efficiently. We could score 4-6 tetras every match. However, we had some bad luck, and failed to place in the two regionals we attended

Anyways, I made a video of our "accomplishments" this year.

I can't listen to the audio right now~
everything looks GREAT
very NICE accelerated shot of capping 6~
also your robots ability to carry and release tetras seems flawless

Re: Video: Team 1015

thanks for the comments

Our robot carries tetras pretty stably, but the drive train seems a bit squirrely. You can't really tell from the vid, bc it's only supposed to showcase our strong points

It's 2 drive wheels powered by 2 CIM motors each. There are 4 castors in each corner of the chassis. Sometimes, the robot gets stuck on a goal bc of the castors! We put guards on the castors, and now it's a lot better, but it still (rarely) happens.

We were supposed to stack more than 1 at a time, but it would be less stable when stacking, so we just went with 1.

Re: Video: Team 1015

Capping one at a time strategically has seemed to be a more successful strategy - so I think it worked out for the best for you all =)
Also I suggest you spend all the time you can thursday trying to solve the 'castors sticking' problem -- even if it happens rarely, it can happen - and not only will it hurt your alliance but it could possibly hurt your chances for being picked come saturday. best of luck to you all!

Unfortunately, we are poor and can't attend the Championships

This is my senior year too

I might be a mentor next year, so I might get to go next year
