 I understand that I'm in the minority when it comes to these things, so when the coverage switches to one these stories I exercise my right to change the channel. - Karthik [more] |

So this is the rookie endeavor of Los Pollos Locos. 2815 is comprised of five Richland One high schools (the other two, Columbia and Keenan, already have FRC teams) and one middle school working with USC's College of Engineering and Computing.
Of note:
-Power dumper with modest range. Deadly at point-blank range, good for about five or six feet away.
-Two balls wide the entire run
-Floor load or human-load
-Two CIMs running 1:1 on the final kicker drums, two CIMs on the conveyors, two F-P motors on the drive.
We'll be painting the town garnet and black at Bayou and Palmetto. (We've got a vested interest in doing well at Palmetto, given that it's at archrival Clemson University. 
)
And yes, we know the bumpers need a fix for the corners. Have to have something to do at Bayou, yes?

Looks pretty awesome! Can't wait to see it at Palmetto.
PS. I would be careful running those rover wheels on that tile. The cracks can mess them pretty bad pretty fast, to the point of not legal. But its shipped now...

Wow, looks like a SOLID "rookie" offering!
I can't wait to see video of this one in action.
I like the cable/turnbuckle system for supporting the tower. Very simple and lightweight way to get a lot of strength.
Good Luck,
John

Conveyor system, sans shooter drums
With shooter drums
Imagine this, but obscene quantities. Six or eight (potentially more) at a time, no sweat. Proof coming when I get the clearance to post it.

no ac/dc (or classical as donn prefers) but this is about the best I can do as far as video at the moment
