Short Circuit Alliance Tower Takeover Reveal

\textcolor{cyan}{\LARGE{2019-2020 \quad Short \quad \;Circuit \quad Alliance \quad Reveal}}

The Short Circuit Alliance would like to present our 2019-2020 Tower Takeover reveal. We have been working on gathering video clips from our different robots and editing them together to create this Frankenstein-esque reveal, different from others in that the vast majority of our clips weren’t filmed specifically for the reveal (due to current circumstances). Regardless of the nature of the clips used in our reveal, we hope you enjoy it!

Without further adieu, here it is!

The intakes open by moving apart (to release the cubes when stacking). The way it works is after a certain point the arms move forward instead of further down. The intakes are also connected with standoffs which after a certain point also stop because they cannot move any further and the intakes move apart. This movement back and forth is also how the robot folds and unfolds, the intakes.
