 It wasn't about the ROBOT, or about whether I was male or female, it was about getting to compete in something that was just SO cool. - BandChick [more] |

Huge Thanks to Saratoga High School Senior Luke Salin for taking the time to give us a professional photoshoot at 11 pm before Bag and Tag
Quick MANTA info:
-10 wheel WCD using WCP pneumatic wheels
-Intakes can center ball from anywhere along frame into the shooter head
-Intakes defeat all Active defenses
-Shooter pivots far back to increase height of release
-Custom flywheels to maximize Moment of Inertia
-pivot gearbox uses 2 775pros with a ~972:1 reduction and friction brakes
We'd love to answer any questions you may have!

Can I ask how the intake disables the drawbridge and the sally door? I don't see any obvious mechanisms there.

A typo there, what we meant was all active defenses excluding the drawbridge/ sallyport.

The term you are looking for is "Class A Defenses"
Best of luck, great looking bot!

Excited to see you guys play at madera. Any video available?
I like that you are sub 16, but appear to have a shot much harder to block than most teams.

So what I should have said was "Class A defenses, and maybe Class C if the referees are feeling generous and our drivers get enough practice"

We're looking forward to playing with you guys and all the best teams in California too! (CVR is extremely stacked this year)
I don't have any good videos on me right now, but we'll be going to Bellermine for some full field drivers' practice this week, and I'll try to get some video to put up.
