Too bad we wern’t able to make it down this year, as we had to scale down because we didn’t have enough funding till right before kickoff. Hope to go down there next year though because last year was great!
ill tell yall wat, our team is ready for palmetto to be here now. btw, if there are any ramp bots going to palmetto, send pictures, b/c i have seen pretty much none. and if ur a ramp-bot (solid double especially), 343 may want u. so yeah, just post some pix, that would b lovely.
875 **going **For all of the practice rounds and six qualifiers the arm was completely inoperable due to either sensor issues or problems with the feedback code. In the team’s last two matches the arm was enabled under human control, a rather dangerous method since it was easy to hyperextend the arm and damage it. Unfortunately, in the first of those two rounds one drive wheel was broken, causing one side of the robot to be immobile, and the hasty replacement job (only one spacer was on the axle) for the second match failed when defense started to be played against the robot after it scored a ringer. Overall, the drivebase preformed well, with the exception of breaking two AM kit wheels due to undetermined causes. And, when once the arm was working it was smooth and quick, by far 587’s best arm ever. It, along with a turret system, actually impressed an inspector to the point that after he was done, he came back to the 587 pit pit to take pictures of the design.

Currently found: 16 arm robots (including 386 and 1959), 1 hybrid (801), 4 ramps (1368 included), 1 pure defense (900). My pictures of 386 and 801 are waiting on mod approval.
Im not sure but I believe that team 34 is ramp bot as well when I talk to one of there mentors at Peachtree he said our robots had very similar design in ramps.
