Another entry to #TeamSuction! Your 2018 robot inspired us so much with our robot design this year, I hope 1619 has an amazing season (you’re well on your way already).

Incredible robot! I’m super curious, is the climb just a balancing act?

This is amazing.

Can we have some more details on how that climb works?

I understand it’s suction. But beyond that, seems like magic.

Where do you get a large suction pad like that from?

Another impressive bot! Great editing on the video too :+1:

Good luck at Oklahoma!

I’m loving the amount of polycarb y’all are running with. Do you find that you can iterate any faster since you can be more aggressive with machining?

Also that climb (hang?) mech is just…wow.

I wonder how many of those pumps they needed. Seems very easy to would love to try this out for our second event week 6

You absolute animals, what an amazing design.

Alright give me the over/under on how many teams are frantically trying to build a cheesecakeable version of that climb for their week 4-6 events. I’m setting the bar at 25.

Jeremy, great work on the video. I am very much a fan of your work! Some of the best videography in FRC.

That climb… made my jaw drop. I look forward to watching 1619 this season!

I can’t wait to see this bot in action at Oklahoma

What is the weight? It looks like it ways just about 80-90 lbs. I’m a little surprised the cargo manipulator doesn’t go over the back like last year.

Well, once again I love your robot. The more I think about your climb the more I think I understand your long term strategy. Well done, friends

That climb is a big flex. Wish we had your video editing department

Love the robot, but I may love the video even more. Absolutely outstanding editing!

The column is curved, but it looks constructed of side plates.

Also, Looks good. Love to see some in depth videos how you built it.
