The gripper changed. The main problem with the other one was that we had to tilt it to get to the floor, and that the opening was too small, making it hard to center on the ringers.
The new one is simpler, lighter and way more efficient (apparently).
No risk of offending us with your comment. We are always our own fiercest critics anyways and many of us wanted a new gripper from day 1 of GLR.

Francois.

Edit: let’s not forget 703 with their huge carbon fiber ramp, or 374 (or is it 394? 397? sorry, i forgot) with their very efficient gripper.

Great Job 247, all of us at 1251 were rooting for you. Great to see a 3rd title under your belt, 2 this year. Good luck at nats, we’ll see you there!

#12

I second that!!!

#13

Wow 123 and 247 hook up again for the win. Congrats on your 2nd straight regional Championship.

#14

Just got home, wow 247 you guys have the best defensive robot I have seen this year. Your speed and power make you guys really really good, couple that with 123 being able to hang a few and 903 also able to provide some strong defense, you are one of the best alliances I have seen this season.

#15

Congratulations 247! 2nd regional win this year! You guys have an amazing robot and great strategy - that works! Looking forward to seeing you again at Nationals!

They are a straight ramp, no hanging tubes. They have a 6WD I believe and have very smart and skilled drivers running it. The speed and power their robot has is incredible. Their ramp system is one robot drives up, the other then gets on the ramp and they lift their ramp to support that team. They are very good and need to be seen to be believed.

Just want to throw out a thanks to 469 for picking us. Oh yeah and thanks for the shirt alex (im wearing it right now haha):smiley: . Thanks 1502 you guys played some good defense. We gave it are all and we put up a fight. Will see you guys in west michigan.

Gratz go out to 247, 123, and 903. I was there for most of the day Saturday and saw some great matches! Also congrats to the team from Mexico 2283 It was nice to see you guys again after meeting at GM you did amazing. Hopefully we’ll be seeing all ya’ll at Atlanta.

Did anyone else see the 2283’s video they had playing in their pit? It was pretty sweet.

Also, a shoutout to the Robocubs (just cause I love you guys :D) Sad I probably won’t be able to see your bot next year!

I would like to Congratulate all the teams at the Detroit Regional, you all did a great job and did F.I.R.S.T. proud. As a referee it was a great pleasure to meet so many wonderful young adults who present themselves in a very professional manner. Teams 247, 123 and 903 way to go on the win, your list of accomplishments this year is far to lenghty to list here. Team 217 congratulations on back to back Detroit Regional Chairmans awards ( will next year be a three-peat?).
