FIRST Robot Showcase

Hey everyone! Today we attached our scissor lift and gripper. It looks pretty awesome on top of the robot :smiley:

that looks a lot lighter than what we came up with, will it reach the top?

also how stable is it, that was the main reason we didnā€™t use a scissor lift was we thought it would rock back and forth too much.

There isnā€™t rocking, it bounces up and down a tiny bit if you jerk it really fast. And its REALLY light. It goes up to about 11 feet so its goes too high.

LOVE your team name, hahaha!

It would only be better if you were the German Daleksā€¦ Exterminieren!

Oh, and uh, nice robot :wink:

Haha thanks! If we were a German Highschool witthout a doubt! But we are not and the team would never fly with that. Our motto on TIMS is ā€œExterminate!ā€ as you probably could have guessed :stuck_out_tongue:

Impressive! I love the linkage arm and the gripper claw.

Definitely a team to keep an eye on in the future.

Good luck at your regional!

Looks great! Iā€™m always concerned when I see a team using a scissor lift, because they are so hard to get just right ā€“ but yours seems to work great, so good on you!
