We can rewrite pins, as in like when you are trying to stack a pin and it falls over, our bot can pick up the fallen pins and make them upright again. Revolver can do this just not that great like we can.
my bot plays fetch,
and gives good hugs
Every robot can knock the starting pins off the holders for 2 points but not sure how many have device dedicated to it. My son did some work on his botās lift arm and reduced the motor need from 2 to 1 motor. Not sure what to do with the extra motor initially, he quickly decided he wanted a dedicated āpin knockerā. Pic from his teamās notebook page. āPin knocker 2.0ā, (3) in picture, does seem to be an improvement over the original (which tended to knock the pin off by simply destroying the entire pin holding mechanism lol).
my bot can score from any angle from 10 cm to 22 inches
Follow up courtesy of my son. His team decided that PINKNOCKER 
(my son started using the copyright sympbol in the notebook lol) wasnāt very useful, but that they needed a device to help gently push pin stacks for the small square goal, or center yellow goal where the stack isnāt totally within the goal. Doing this with their robot during the heat of a match often results in knocked-down stacks lol. So he used a scotch yoke design to make a reciprocating device and coded it to run at a slower speed. The Scotch yoke is much more complicated than a simple crank and slider. He saw both watching this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dngl2F_IRyI. His yoke hits the ground, jams, then āself-disassemblesā when spun in one direction so he coded it to just spin in the other direction. Since itās reciprocating it really only needs to run in one direction anyhow. When asked why the more complicated mechanism when a simpler one will suffice, he noted how much he liked the Scotch yoke idea, which is as good a reason as any in this case, I guess. He calls this PINPUSHER . It works as intended but will need to be battle-tested on an actual playing field with the whole team driving.
Donāt know if this is unique, but sometimes when our bot tips over from the beam weight, it can lift itself back up
Being oversensitive.
(no really, if there is just a slight abrasion in the field, the claw will break T_T
Another unique thing is that it can grab pins amazingly fast and sometimes balance themā¦
Our turning is reversed. yay!!!
I would most definitely fix that in the shortest time span possible
The season is over for usšā¦
Did any of your teams make it to worlds?
And you spent the whole season with flipped controls???
@maxoliver Sadly noā¦ 5020A placed 4th in finals and @5020B received Build Award.
@Quail_Pepper We didnāt have flipped controls until we built our 180 mech.
We almost made it to worlds, Only if our finals member did not drop the cactus that would make us to worldsā¦
