That scissor lift might be the first to make it to Einstein in the last decade or so.

Someone fact check me.

Even the limelight looks like nostrils. Expect to see this bot put a lot of powercells in the goal this year. See you at both events!

What’s the RPM rating on those googly eyes?

195 had a scissor lift in 2016 and won the Galileo Division.

@a_cool_username can probably talk more about the googly eye RPM. He 3D printed an enclosure to make sure they’re contained.

I think you missed a golden opportunity naming wise here…

@EricLeifermann Some of us tried! Li’l Sebastian!

As long as they’re centered on the shaft and held in place by something other than glue, I trust 3 inch googly eyes up to 10,000 rpm.

Do we have an official name for mechanism that can walk on the bar, because I’ve just been saying skywalker, wanted to hear what you called it

Looks can be deceiving… not so much a scissors LIFT as a scissors HOOK PLACER.

We’ve been calling it the crawler most of the time

1720 wants to thank Cyber Blue 234 for picking us to join them on the 1 alliance. We’d also like to thank our partners 7657 Thunderbots for being a fantastic partner to round out the alliance.

I hands down cannot believe 7657 was still around for our alliance to pick up. A robot that shoots 3 in the high goal in autonomous, moves off the line, can play defense and has a solid climber? Sign me up every day and twice on Sundays.

This autonomous mode really should not have been possible, big props to the scouters: Twitch

Lots to improve on for Columbus in week 4!
