I just wanted to know what some people thought of my robot pics in the gallery. idk how to post a link but if you search dreadnaught or 1031 it should comoe up. its just in the robot section. I’m just looking for comments/opinions.
Thanks in advance,

I think its great woody 
you’ve already seen it before josh =\
I like the gears being used for the arm. That should give it a pretty stable platform. Looks like 2:1 drive.
Does the black grippy stuff on the intake cause any miss throws like the zip ties do, that I have seen on many robots?
That was the main reason that we don’t use zip ties. Inconsistant unloading.
That’s the thick anti-slip mat, found it somewhere in the products. It’s actually very accurate, it doesn’t spit the cubes at all. Only thing is with my set up i don’t have continuous intake, but i’ve been able to work around that. Only time i miss a goal is when i cant tell the distance from the goal because we have to stand in the same place.
I’ll second that…
Nope, it didn’t cause any problems for 1031 or 1337 at the NorCal regionals - both teams made it look quite beneficial.
