Well,
Here she is in all her glory. We have 2 arms that manipulate the big balls. One is specifically designed to deal with the ball on the moveable goal and the other for the ball on the ground. Our winch is a power take-off from the drive train and uses the big arm to attach the hook. The big arm is a 3 axis robot arm with a turret, shoulder and linear extension.

Whoa... not just one arm, but two. This looks like another great robot from 217. My brain is hurting by trying to figure out all of the possibilities to what this robot can do. Corral balls - yep. Hold 2 - 2x balls, yep. Hang, yep. Grab a goal - yep. Get on the platform - probably.
As far as robot arms on FIRST robots, this one here is a strong candidate for the best. I can't wait to see this good looking bot in action.

Paul CopioliWill,
I just posted 2 separate pictures showing our drivetrain. The first is the transmission and the second shows the wheels. We do not shift this year (do not think it is necessary), but we use the gearbox for a power take-off for the winch.

Paul CopioliJohn,
We are geared for 8.8 ft/sec theoretical. With my calculated losses, we are at 8.3 ft/sec.
