Their robot moves so fast that it changes colour due to the Dopler Effect. By rapidly alternating between driving away from the viewer (Redshift) and driving toward the viewer (Blueshift), they can make the viewer see it in their traditional purple colour. - philso [more] |

Do you have any videos of this machine in action? I'm not seeing how it works.
Also, are those bumpers at the legal height? They look kind of low to me.

We don't have a video (to my knowledge) the robot does not hurdle, the arm raises to knock the ball off then stays close to horizontal. When the arm is horizontal we use the lower wheels to suck the ball in then spit it out over the line each lap.

Yes, they are very good at knocking the balls off the overpass at the end of the match. Great Bot guys!
