FRC 1503 2011 Video

Congrats 1503!

Great video too

I wish we had the chance to be on the same alliance in Pittsburgh, but we sure had a great time beating you in the second last qualifying match! Hope to see us driving together in one match next year

Also the claw design was different then most, however it was designed specifically for human player pick up, not floor pick up. Our claw deign was pretty different then most too (but we got the industrial design award for it)

And how is DeadMau5 related to your team? was he on it before, sponsor it, or just know him somehow??

This is not something I knew. I thought the tube was a "press-fit" into the 179 claw. Thanks for clearing that up.

If you go into a season not thinking you are going to win all of your regionals, your division, and the championships should you be competing? This is a competition, and if you aren't going to give it your best, which means believing you can win it all, then should you be competing?

Just something to think about.

Nick I was also curious (and about 99% sure), and not sure why I didn't come look at the bot in St. Louis, but did you do all of the heights pre-programmed?

Yes.

Congrats to team 1503, you showed FRC what a passionate team can do if they really put their mind to it.

I absolutely agree with you. This year was a complete team effort.
