the speed of in taking a game piece into the turret is *insane*. oh my god.

[@fallinglief6493]

The omnidirectional feed of 254's turret is wildly impressive and arguably the most consistent and refined out of any of the teams doing it this way. Just so fast and reliable.

[@RoyalRobotics2522]

Such a great robot, we look forward to Chezy Champs this year!

[@benjamin_f_gates]

the wear on the shooter/indexer stealth wheels is a definite indicator that this bot prob has hundreds of hours of runtime on it 🥶🥶

[@ksiwinski]

Sadly we found out pretty quickly that the wheels wear down after only a few hours of use, so we've had to replace them multiple times throughout the season

[@GalacticDragonfruit]

I find this design incredibly impressive

[@Bayken]

WOO ITS HERE

[@___Cake287___]

It's here :o

[@TheFastProgrammer]

our team does the note decision making too

[@alexadams3973]

254 with their crispy PIDs again.

[@proof2950]

I wonder how they make their PID this crispy, its unreal

[@nutmeggaming11261]

Feedforward and motion control are godly

[@raphaelmonserate1557]

@@nutmeggaming11261 wondering if they use built in motion profiling from the krakens

[@erkamtb]

16:20 what do they use for auto program?

[@abysscuber3923]

YUHHH

[@yuvalgur7746]

Somone knows the exact name of the sensor they talk about? 11:17

[@Genesislights]

Lowering the CG of the bot by how much?

[@ksiwinski]

around 1", changing from 2" to 3" framerails allows us to move our bellypan, and thus everything on top of it, down by an inch. An additional reason was to not run over notes and beach ourselves

IMO the best individual bot this year, the defense in finals was tragic and also 294 selling so much was sad

[@ksiwinski]

294 was a great 3rd bot, don't put them down for something that was out of their control

[@fnndhshsbxnf]

294 didn’t “sell,” the loss wasn’t any of the individual teams’ fault. Daly alliance just strategized and played really well

[@lzrstar3574]

@@ksiwinski blud did not watch the matches, 294s box defense looked super timid and just nervous

[@ksiwinski]

@@lzrstar3574 Remember, they were playing defense against orbit, probably the fastest and most manueverable bot in the world. 294 may not have been as perfect as 321 (who was really in a league of their own), but they still played exceptional defense, and we were lucky to have them on our alliance.

[@lzrstar3574]

@@ksiwinski I think they got to distracted between the cycle bots, and never held pins for more than 1 seconds which just seems nervous and inexperience
