We are exited to see you all this week and to be competing in the Math division!
For years 569 has had terrific robots! Looking forward to see your success continue at Worlds.
That white background picture is difficult to take ! Good luck
That looks like a great multipurpose robot.
The multiple configurations are interesting, how long or difficult is it to change between the them?
I look forward to seeing more, and hopefully playing with (or against) you in the Math Division.
I really like how you allow your self to have a 4 cube intake(s), the only thing I would like to know is did you ever consider swapping one of your hooks for your Skyrise intake rather than swapping the whole thing. It might be slightly harder to allign but it gives you that extra cube compared to what you have currently.
I wish you all the luck at worlds and I’m fairly confident that you’ll get an alliance or even have the opportunity to pick one.
Thanks! That picture took a long time to take for sure, but we also used it for our business cards so it was worth it!
It takes us about three minutes to switch between intakes. I look forward to competing with you too! Good luck come Thursday!
We definitely weighed all of our options when designing our intakes. In order to be effective at skyrises, our robot needed to be able to reach forward more and would require a re-design. We chose rather to stick the two intakes we already had so that we could have more time to practice driving and programming.
