Here’s how we hurdle:

The team is going to San Diego, GTR, and Atlanta this year.
I think I saw a few plastic discs under the forks, but I just figured I’d ask, there’s no metal on carpet here right?
Other than that, nice looking robot!
No they got some delrin skimmers down there.
That’s what it looked like, but with Youtube resolution you can never be sure. I figured it was better to ask a stupid question then not ask and have you guys scrambling at your first regional.
It looks like the first launch went quite a bit farther than the rest, is that a function of camera angle or did you change something?
I think that has more to do with the tension on the elastic tubing, we made it very tight for our first launch and dialed it down a bit later on to reduce the wear on it. Its all depends on how much you tension the elastic tubing, we will probably crank it up a bit a competition.
Edit: I didn’t get any video of it winching down, but with 2 CIMs it comes down under a second.
Nice Launcher. Looking forward to seeing you guys at Waterloo.
another great robot by 610, see you guys at GTR
