Here is a little promo video we scrapped together to better explain our robot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyykKcfnow4

Unfortunately the only video we have of us "Power Dumping" is before we received our extra jaguars in the mail, which explains the use of a battery directly connected to the motor. Rather than having jaguar problems we have had victor problems and have made the switch over to only jaguars.

Now on the robot, the motor the top brush is connected to a jaguar and we have reduced the speed by about half to allow for better accuracy from short range. Also when we are trying to score our main chute will be turning to feed the balls in, which actually feeds them in faster than the student in the video.

3 days till New Jersey!

Well we were, the under Armour days for the drive team have passed us. Well at least at New Jersey you won't be seeing it, VCU and Championship maybe a different story.

Thanks Akash! Over here we're a big fan of the simple and solid robots your team puts out year after year. Looking forward to seeing MORT their, this should be a very competitive regional.
