Awesome Reveal! Singapore Teams (once again) are setting a very high standard relatively early in the season :slight_smile:

#4

Awesome reveal. Thanks for posting!

#5

I call plagiarism :smiley: (Make sure your sound is on)

#6

Could you possibly show us a video of your G bot scoring mobile goals into the 20 point zone? Thanks! :slight_smile:

#7

The mechanism of lift for 8068G is the same for both the 10 point zone and 20 point zone
I’ve uploaded a video of it putting in 20 point zone and another video of it putting in 10 point zone, the difference is that it crosses the 10 point pole to put the goal down in the 20 point zone.

Hello!
Could I check if you guys (8068) tend to focus more on speed or the ability to score? Because I see many teams skewing towards speed instead of being able to score everything. Robots are interesting, are you planning to keep them for later in the season or maybe going to APVRC? 8068 weren’t there for the past two years if i am not mistaken. Hope to see you guys in Rotorua, NZ this year!

Thanks in advance! :slight_smile:
