Nice work as always. I feel good about my very correct prediction:


Also, could we perhaps get an edit of this where the music is Fireflies by Owl City? Thanks.

@Jake177 predicted someone would do toro sticks this year. 118 was not on my bingo card for it.

118 can finally grapple to climb :joy:

Will 118 ever build a single piece bumper again?

This is incredible! Love the ground intake/funneling system and can’t wait to see it in action

How were you able to get 10118 as your second team? That is 900/9000 levels of luck (or is it luck?)

They were monitoring the registered teams list and pressed pay at the right moment (they also got 10117 on accident in the process)

they did release it at 11:18 CST so I think that makes up for the time.

What is that intake backer made of? I assume it’s something flexible since you seem to have polycarb rollers or something similarly inflexible above it.

this is the simplest robot i’ve seen 118 build in YEARS and im here for it. amazing work.

now where can i get a shirt? /s

I mean there is a 2dof pivot on the elevator carriage. I think what it has is less obvious pocketed sheet metal parts than most 118 bots.

Our software lead summed it up best:

Great at putting 20 lbs of robot in a 20 lb box.

Beautiful architecture, wonderful build execution, a whole world of possibilities strategy wise.

I was waiting for a team to do L1 effeciently with their ground intake. I definetely think that we are going to see 118 on Einstein again since… Checks TBA… 2017. :astonished:
