See you at SFR this weekend!
Phenomenal robot name, robot looks like it cooks too! Awesome job y’all!
Does that shooter have any form of angle adjustment?
No actuated angle adjustment, but there are extra mounting holes that allow us to adjust the angle of the shooter a bit if we want.
Love the ending. Someone on your team was screaming bloody murder. 
Your climber is fitting with your team name. Robot looks like a monkey traversing.
See you in Utah!
Love how smooth this climb is. Excellent robot yet again. Love the name as well, throws me back to an old Simpsons episode.
There was another team named Furious George in the past, but I cant recall which team.
Great color for the bot 
glad to see so many teams go for the spinny climb this year, watching them work, and how each team tackles the hook problem is probably my favorite thing.
Really like the simplicity of your windmill climb.
Hey Andy, out of curiosity are you still using Bazel for your robot code?
L.o.v.e. the climb hook technique.
So simple, so good.
We may have to borrow that intake design for silicon valley…
Yeah we are!
Not just one, but two: 3055 and 4356 (who was BIG Furious George).
Yup! Using C++ & bazelrio this year (first time using a non-JVM language in a while)
We’re also doing something very similar, as well as 179 and 1657 that I know of. We just switched our rung 3 climber for this design a few days ago and it’s surprising how easy it’s been to get it working.
How did you guys end up getting it to fit within the frame perimeter?
We have the hooks tied closed with cables at the start of the match, which release when the arm is rotated for the first time. I know 1657 did something similar. We’ll have some more info on it coming soon in our build blog.
We stow our hooks using a light over-center latch that pops free when the climber rotates for the first time. We’re using the gas springs on the hooks to hold the latch closed, and the gearbox to release it. I don’t have a photo right now, but if you would like either a photo or video, I’m happy to record one later and send it. We also experimented with building a pivot into the arm. That released using a pretty powerful torsion spring, but it was only stopped in one direction because it didn’t latch close.
Are you intentionally aiming off-center of the target to reduce bounce-outs? Your shots at 0:18 look misaligned even though you have a Limelight.
A photo/video would be greatly appreciated! We were watching your matches today and we were trying to figure it out. 
Good luck tomorrow!
