This is a pic of our robot… if you saw us at Annapolis you know what it does. If you don’t, start a discussion.
That is the robot as it was when we competed at Annapolis. Ask away.
Here are some Realmedia videos of us stacking/orienting back at home… will put up some ones of Annapolis too once I can get them and digitize them.

Major changes expected for Canada so we’ll show you some ones after that too 
Hey guys nice bot…thanks for the fun alliance we had although we couldn’t break through 25’s tough plays we still had fun with you and Miss Daisy ! Good Luck rest of the season…
Thanks… too bad throwing bins was pretty much as uneffective as stacking consistently.
I know you guys were recording the entirety of the regional on video camera near where we were sitting. Any chance I can get a copy somehow?
I wanna see the infinitely tall stack

**I wanna see the infinitely tall stack**
Not possible in a finite amount of time as Greg mentioned in that thread sometime back. But that video I linked should show some good stacking. We will have changes made to the robot but the basic mechanism will be there for Canada. CANADA!!! Ah… what a great country 
You guys should post the video of you stacking at Annapolis as soon as possible. You made like a 3 stack in one seeding match. It is not on Soap since it happened on Friday. You are the only bot besides GeroniMOE that I saw stack. I wish there were more.
Many robots can stack, we can, 25 can, so many more too. Just that everything happened so quickly no one really had time to. it was all about getting bins on their side and KOTH
not bad… not bad at all
Wow… you guys had a good a way of doing it. Could you orient a box while holding a stack?
No, we could not orient the bins while we were stacking. Which was the fault to the design.
Nah, not at all. That didn’t help us at all. Even if we could orient while stacking it’d be useless unless we could protect the stack. Protection was the fault at Annapolis and we did not have a backup device with us.
What did matter was the aluminum frame to support our stack of 4 and protect it.
The orientors we used for orienting were moved onto this frame and instead were used to hold the stack. It was a tedious backup plan developed late in the build but it was simple to do… too bad it took 6 hours the first day to implement… taking stuff apart is incredibly tedious when it’s all hex nuts…
