This is a solemn reminder of how fast time goes by with the blink of an eye, that if you don't run to catch up with it, it will catch up with you and sweep you away. - Ken Leung [more] |

A better look at our kicker, ball magnet, and drive system from the 2815/1398 collaboration.
The kicker was powered by a CIM motor through an AndyMark GEM gearbox, with a cam to $@#$@#$@#$@# it back. The surgical tubing required to get a good kick was a little much for the structural integrity of the robots; neither team's kicker survived the season.
The drive system was easily the craziest of either team's before or since, a six-motor, two-speed, plaction-wheeled beast that ensured both had all the defensive chops one needed.
Still, with 1398 winning Palmetto that year with 343 and 1261, we must've done something right!
