Congratulations on winning our division from team 5813! It was a close fight to say the least. I’m curious about your decision to only attempt 3 challenges as opposed to all 5. Was it a strategic move, or more of a time conserving effort? Very impressive none-the-less, especially your autonav time.
Thanks! The decision of attempting 3 challenges was mainly because those were the ones we believed we had the most possibilities to be competitive. At first, we wanted to try all of the 5 challenges but time played a very decissive factor. So we decided to only have 3 but put all of our efforts in those 3.
We made prototypes of both types of shooters and also competed last year in a week 0 event with a hooded shooter. However, we liked more the control authority and accuracy that the double flywheel shooter gave us.
Our shooter is very good but we have a big problem with the backlash on the system that adjusts it, also it is a lot more complex than a hooded shooter and not as efficient as we would like to.
But I think it looks very cool. (This are videos of 2020)
