It’s the only picture I found. It’s not the best, so I’ll be looking for others in the mean time. It’s from before we actually put the whole thing together.

Wow, I had to do a double-take when I saw your robot. Looked very familiar to our robot in my rookie year:

Semi-related note: I see you guys are using tank treads again this year. Do you like the pushing benefits it provides?
Sorry for the poor quality, but this should suffice until i can get a better picture on Saturday

Edit: @Ed, it may be better if you just edited the first post instead of making new ones each time you get more photos.
Yeah, we pretty much use treads every year we can: We like being “that guy” who can push everyone else around. Very rarely is there a year when that is not either a valid strategy, or plain out useful. The only issue with using treads is how heavy they are! This is also the first year that we are using SuperShifters, so we can also be quite speedy as well as pushy. Also, in the video, the treads havent been sanded down yet (to get to the soft rubber underneath them–these treads are recycled from our T-Shirt launcher), so we should be even more pushy once we get that done on Thursday. We have a long list of things that are going to be fixed between now FLR, including increasing the travel of our gripper, since we were having a bit of trouble picking up some shapes, though with a bit of practice we can do it fine.
Can’t wait to see you guys there!

I’m going to suggest that forum-wide these threads shouldn’t be posted too far in advance of the regionals. We shouldn’t be seeing MN 10,000 Lakes threads until at least week 3.
You can’t be serious.
Isn’t that a little over the top?
IDK about you guys, but I want to see who I’m competing with ASAP.
In other news, im not seeing too many floor picker-uppers at FLR this year…So far.
Just about everyone at the rally could pick up from the floor…
I think it will be highly competitive.
Lots of tubes on the ground, robots that can’t pick form the floor will have issues staying on top of the ranking.
and 174 can too.
Teams at FLR are known to at times have unique answers in playing the game, so I wouldn’t be surprised if 1/3rd of the robots won’t pick up from the floor…however I still highly doubt it.
What I am interested in is FLR human players. In Lunacy, seeing human players was part of the fun. It makes me think that one team might pick a team just because their human player can throw the entire length of the field.
FLR is a fantastic regional, very competitive and you dont see the same teams win year in and year out. Also, win or lose you know you will always have a great time.
To add to that, you don’t even know who will do well each year; you might be a finalist one year, and the next not even reach elims. Or vise versa!
