Lastly hear about 8000C’s ringing endorsement for why @DRow should be on the VRC GDC on Pits & Parts.
Oh no @DRow.
The new generation of VRC competitors don’t know the joke. You must be getting old or something.

This team really improved their performance with their multi functional drop down wing on their bot for a great auto and their top 20 skills in the world (at time of recording). ROBOSheen also changed their drive to a six 11w 360rpm drive really improved their ability on the field as they eliminated a PTO from their bot to great results.

Lol the motor disconnection
TL:DR if you watch the interview this is a feature of the team getting feedback and they are in process of demonstrating this function.
Yeah I watched it, it was a nice feature (I didn’t know controllers could vibrate!). Just the fact tho that it’s on the cover was kinda funny (especially out of context)

Every time I see hailstorm, they have a new color of plastic. Such a sleek robot. The blocker is a cool addition. Can’t wait to see what they do next!
Fr tho,
They’re BUILT for match play, and more specifically, this meta. Their 8 motor drive makes them an extremely strong contender for more sigs in the future and even possibly worlds.
