Today we completed the practice robot! The only things we had to do to complete it was make the lexan deflectors for the shooter and intake. So we were able to run some shooting tests and we're fairly pleased with what we see! The drive train is elegant and smooth, it shifts like butter! The intake is outrageous, it funnels balls like nothing, and the elevator is the perfect speed! I'm extremely extremely excited and proud of this years robot, and this is only the practice bot! We also continued assembly on the competition robot and it's looking more and more gorgeous every time I lay my eyes on it! I also would like to comment on our programmer, Matt, he programmed the entire robot in 5 minutes, in between bites of Chinese food during lunch! He truly is a super talented kid, so awesome job, Matt! The competition robot drivetrain has been assembled, and the elevator is going together fairly smooth! Here are the pictures I took today!
The intake gearbox, simple and effective.
One of my favorite shots from today!

A little added elegance!
