Totally ingenious; stationary structure while the actual claw moves. Pretty incredible and daring if you ask me.

Very nice rebuild. The lift will be noticeably faster now.
I look forward to playing with you this weekend.

Very impressive, I wonder how many other teams rebuilt a significant portion of their robot (anyone else wanna share?). 548 just tweeked and made a few improvements. Should be a fun weekend, see you there!

Nice try, Katie. I'm not so easily fooled.

Those are the same rc car tires, but different rims than we used... Which I know 1323 happened to sell to a certain team that isn't 1675... Claw looks pretty familiar as well....
1625 looking for another win?

This past Saturday 1732 had a practice day with 1675 and I gotta say its a pretty cool robot. While the elevator isn't quite as fast as 469's, its close and still plenty fast and has a very effective (and unique) roller gripper. While it is very risky rebuilding a new robot, I think there is a good chance they pull it off.

let's just say we officially gave our robot the v2 and did someone say ball screw?

Can this reach the top peg? It seems the elevator can only reach the maximum height of the starting configuration. I assume I'm missing something?

It is refreshing, though.
EDIT: Aren does this mean Kevin fulfilled the terms of last year's bet?

Maybe they have a way for it to unfold or something at the start of the match!

Re: pic: Are you ready for IRI?
this reminds me of 469's robot this year. how does it extend, telescoping or folding?

We had some changes in mind but we lost our build space and classroom when the school year ended. All of our stuff is in storage except what is needed for IRI, that is in our new trailer. We are hoping to come and have fun, then after IRI find a new home.

Re: pic: Are you ready for IRI?
Guess the cat's probably out of the bag now - this is actually 1625's robot. It was a pretty effective scorer, think 469 with a roller claw and you're about there. It didn't make elims, but teams like 51, 234, and 330 managed to miss elims despite great performances so that doesn't mean much.

Re: pic: Are you ready for IRI?
I don't blame any of the alliance captains for not gambling on us, losing communications in 4 matches is just a smidge frustrating for how much work we've put in this summer.
A great time was still had by all and I would like to thank Jacob Komar for being a very helpful FTA and giving us his time in our hunt to find why we kept losing communications.
