53 hours and 27 minutes until States…
Very cool robot! How do those custom omni wheels work? Are those just nylon spacers zip-tied onto a pulley wheel?
Robot looks great! Good luck at States!
Wonderful reveal! Good luck at states 
Hey… That’s pretty good.
What flips out at 1:37?
I’m sorry. What team are you on this year? For some reason, I can’t seem to find 5772 on vexdB.
a tension release
@mwang17 Yup, just spacers and ziptie on a pulley wheel. As long as you get them not too loose and not too tight, the spacers spin freely on the pulley wheel.
@Sirchiggins101 That is our tension release mechanism, which allows us to detach the bands assisting the lift up so that the robot has enough power for a hang. The States-edition of this robot doesn’t hang, so the tension release is just prep for our skills-focused robot in two weeks.
This is an incredible reveal video very well made. My team can’t wait to compete against your robot! Good luck at states!
