iR3 sets out to build an FRC robot that is probably rather competitive in 72 hours, and gets it done in 60.
Wow. Just wow. Mad props guys.

Did they put in bumper mounts? On the other hand, I guess legality isn’t the number 1 priority, just getting the thing built. Will this (probably highly competitive) machine be competing at any scrimages? I’d love to actually see it in action against other robots. Let’s see what wonders 6 weeks of driver practice can work!
Any way guys, amazing job. I bet this will be forever regarded as the bot rookies should have built.
I wonder how many of these robots are gonna be at competitions? lol
I’ve been checking in on this every evening and I’m really impressed by how quickly the robot came together. I think the videos have also highlighted how the iR3 products would be great for many FRC teams that need the ability to quickly make changes to their robot on the fly.

No bumpers. They wanted people to be able to see into the robot and focus on the mechanics. shooter, drivetrain, hanging, etc
How soon can play against it in Off Season competition? Got any ideas lined up yet?

Hey guys, if you’ve been following our Twitter feed you already know this: But we finished the bot at 12:30 this morning! Still can’t believe we ended up getting it done with half a day to spare.
We brought it to our testing facility this morning to get some good video to unveil the final build. Andrew’s piecing together all the video we shot and we will have it posted soon. In the next day or two we’ll also put up a debriefing for the lessons learned and other things we encountered. A lot of those areas we got to talk about in the live chat, so if you have some time you should check it out.
Thank you again for all the support, there has just been such a massive amount of encouragement coming from you these past few days and it has been great to get to talk with so many of you that we haven’t had the chance to work with before. It’s super exciting to hear the ideas several teams have told us about in how they are improving on our designs for their competition bot and we hope that this has been something that is helpful and, more importantly, inspirational for your team.
Can’t wait to see all of your robots this year and best of luck to you as you go through build season!
Great job Robot in 2.5 days team. It was fun to watch.
How fast is it geared to go? Shifters?
Also, when will the robot reveal video be up?
