This post might make our robot sound not so great but I wanted to give you guys facts, not hopes and dreams. Not sure how we'll do on the grand stage but I guess we'll see. I would probably pick us in the second round of choosing partners as of right now. However, we may move up to a top pick once the new gripper is installed.

Team 488 -- team xbot, Seattle, WA

Achievements --

• PNW Regional: 5th seed alliance captain, semi-finalist; Rockin' Ramp award from team 1510
• Silicon Valley Regional: 1st draft by 5th seed alliance, finalist; Engineering Inspiration Award

Autonomous Mode --

• Defensive runs to the other side of the rack

Drive --

• 6WD w/ 6" AM kitwheels in the middle and 6" AM omniwheels on the corners
• CIM per side w/ 17.5:1 gearing; anecdotally holds its own against most teams, but we play smarter defense than simply shoving people around.
• 6 ft/s top speed

Lifts --

• Two independently released and actuated lifting mechanisms (for good reason that we'll tell you about when we work with you)
• "Buzzer Lift"-capable -- requires approximately one second to release lifts before buzzer sounds
• Independent lifting action allows us to lift one robot or two with no effect on performance and to do so at different times. Lifts react against floor, not our robot and are supported along their entire ~4 ft. length.
• Will not tip (in play, at the end, with robots on it, without robots on it. If you manage a way to tip this robot over, I'll give you a dollar. If you do it on purpose, I won't give you the dollar, however.)
• Large lifting surface of 38x44" on each lift -- accepts wide- and narrow-bodied robots and flop-down robots. As long as your center of gravity is over the white of our lifts, we will lift you.
• Front-facing entry for last minute access -- there's no need for teams to enter the home zone, turn 90* and line themselves up with a narrow ramp as with most machines. Simply drive forward or backward onto our lifts.
• If you move, we will lift you. Seriously. I know Jeff wants honesty and this is it. If you can't move, come find me and I'll help you fix it.
• Hard stop at back of lifts that allow bumpers and frame to overrun our platforms while still stopping wheels.

All this info is great, everyone who posted is showing some serious GP and displaying why FIRST is so different from any other competition. Anyone else out there care to contribute some information about their robot?

Team 1902- The Exploding Bacon
Florida Finalists #2 Seed Ranking Score ~16
Imagery award
7-1-0 Qualification
W, W Quarterfinals
W,L, W Semifinals
W, L, L Finals
Vegas SemiFinalist With #7 Seed Ranking Score ~29
GM Industrial Design Award
4-5 Qualification ( 10 pts higher ) ( Technically 5-4 but due to a reversed call which was later clarified that we won the match but never credited to us )
W,W Quarterfinals
L,W,L Semifinals

Drivetrain6 wheels with lowered center wheels
6 inch Andy Mark Performance
2 speed AM servo shift integrated into Frame
~5 ft/s low and ~12.5 ft/s high

Arm
Can reach all 3 tiers quickly
4 Bar linkage with gas strut stabilizer, Easily Controllable and caps over many 4ft. robots. Controlled by designated presets and modified positioning with a joystick.

Gripper
Simple Claw Mechanism actuated by Globe Motor, very reliable and holds tubes well.

Points of success
Devestating scorer when left open. ( With matches with light defense caps 6-10 tubes ) With 1 -2 defenders our average drops to 4.25, 4.7 if you don't count a match where we flipped. (Vegas Average not sure about Florida )
Climbs ramps well
Powerful/Fast drivetrain
Gripper good, but could be better, occasionally hard to get tubes while under defense.
Able to cap and remove spoilers with ease.
26/30 Autonomous Caps in competition this year
Reliable, Reliable, Reliable. Never Missed nor broke in a match ( Knock on Wood )

Points of Needed Improvement:
Play best on near side of the field, the other side seems sometimes out of our realm.We need to get better on the other side.
Avoiding heavier low robot defenders rather than trying to always power through them.

Overall Assesment:
Good robot but have some weaknesses, it will be interesting to see how the match algerithm works at champs. Most say we can't play through defense and our performance does suffer under defense. At vegas we averaged ~ 4.25 caps a match and atleast 1 robot on defense per match. We had one match without constant defense ( just intermittant 1 defender vrs 2 good cappers ) in which we put up 8 tubes. ( 1 keeper 6 ringers 1 spoiler )
