This has to be the best 342 machine in a decade. Hate that I’m missing Palmetto this year, but hopefully we’ll meet up in Houston.
i disagree. just looks the best lol. im quite partial to 2012 but that was my senior year. but this one is right up there for sure
Your 2012 robot was pretty awesome and if I remember you were ranked 1 at that event with it. This robot looks pretty capable and I bet if you sped up your climber it would make you a force to be reckoned with at Palmetto this year.
We were in fact. sadly we made some poor alliance selections for eliminations that year although i feel we could have won.
We actually can climb a little faster but thats how much time we plan to take during qualifications to make sure if were not picking that we do get picked. i feel if you can climb consistently this year you are almost garaunteed to get picked by someone.
i also feel being a jack of all trades who does everything decent is better than doing one thing really well and one thing ok so thats kind of what were going for. so we can work with whatever alliance were in.
for example we can hang gears and shoot alright but if someone can hang gears much quicker and pick up off the ground we can collect fuel, push a gear to our airship for them, then go shoot. kind of a more efficient use of time
