[@GarfieldRobotics]

Fair

[@Rerocket]

WOW. I am blown away. The engineering that went into this is amazing!

[@theclueless11212]

I’m just seeing this now and wtf this is cool

[@OwenBuckingham11]

Awesome job, it's cool to see robots with really different and interesting designs

[@theclueless11212]

And your ball drive is quite impressive

[@benjamin_f_gates]

My favorite bot this year by far!

[@Teledoor24]

Ahhh this video turned out really great!

[@theclueless11212]

What happened with Rover Ruckus? Heard you guys got eliminated early. I can’t imagine, with such a masterpiece

[@MojoZombo]

We lost many members and took way too long brainstorming and designing and not enough building. Ended up with a drive base and lift and no intake :(

[@theclueless11212]

I see you guys have 10T and 14T sprockets. Do they have clamping hubs? If so, im interested in where you got those?

[@emberklavins9567]

We don't use clamping hubs, when we built this robot the primary system we used for keying sprockets in place was a special hand-made key system. We got them from Surplus Center though, they are remarkably inexpensive.

[@ankitmusham6994]

That is one interesting robot.

[@theclueless11212]

How did the mecanum drive work for you guys? Was it smooth even though half your robot extends outward?

[@emberklavins9567]

The drive was actually quite smooth considering the ~70 pound weight of the robot, the only issues we had were to do with the sprockets and bearings delivering power to the rear wheels.

[@HoshinoMirai]

So goooooooooood!!!!!!

[@joshpeterson6672]

not bad

[@beadybiddle]

This is awesome to watch. I remember seeing a leak of the intake and thinking 'why on earth is the whole thing on a scissor extension?'

[@anthonymadorsky1551]

This robot is just the dog from toy story

[@zachei2213]

OP plz nerf

[@imaginatorstudios4175]

Absolutely Insane!!!
