Here is a quick teaser of our early season robot!

Looking solid! I really like the small details in the bot, such as the intake locks and the like.

Asking for another team, but how is the intake able to hold/pick up all those cubes?

[Railgunawesome]

Nice! Very stable looking design!
It is a bit slow though, in both intaking and stack placing. Will you improve on this later on, or were you going slow on purpose?

I am using an intake lock as seen in my other post here:

How To Fix Intake Compression [Guide]

I figured out a simple and easy lock mechanism for intakes to fix nearly all compression issues. The tricky balancing game between strength, being able to bend the intakes back, the bands not snapping, and the arm spreading when the tilter is tilted forwards is solved by a simple lock as seen below or on youtube

Can it stack 2 stacks side by side in the goal zone? We didn’t think about width so now we have to change some things.

[TaranMayer]

I believe it can, but just barely.
