#1

This year team IronWave has decided to do a full season reveal (i.e. every design that has been built this year). We are hoping that more teams will plan to do this in the future also. Starting from May 2015 going through now.

Looks awesome. Good luck!

#5

No problem.
Great full season reveal!
I think that this is the way that it should be done. Showing the design process over the course of the year.

#6

Awesome, it’s cool to see the evolution of the robot. The dual catapults with the flywheel is a cool concept to.

#7

Thanks, but we will sadly not be attending worlds, but for next season :wink: .

Here are a few more videos:

#8

Oh thats too bad : ( Well good luck next season then!

#9

Did you guys not qualify and are you going to be releasing engineering note book to see your full design process ?

#10

Yes, we did not qualify due to everything going wrong on competition day. And though I would like to, for the purpose of keeping our notebook unique in our area, we will not be releasing the engineering notebook. Though if you have any questions about any design then just ask, I should be able to remember.

Here is a video of the Ramp from Oct.:
