Great looking robot! Another strong contender for UTC. I notice 4wd with omni's in the rear. (I assume those are 6" wheels?) Are you able to make it up the ramp with that little amount of ground clearance?
Looks to be able to do it all, seems to be a trend with us New England teams. (Darn!)

Yes, wheels are 6". She can go on the ramp, which was the design goal.
It will high-center going straight up, but a good full speed run often overcomes that.
A little creative diagonal driving also gets it on the platform.
These shooters just add an awesome dimension to the game this year. I commend all FIRST programmers who get this stuff integrated and working! - Jesse.
