This one has a wooden launching wheel.



"Devil Duckies" pit with many spirit awards.
Their shooting mechanism operates like the chambers of a revolver, rotating to fire a shot.

A well-machined robot, not unlike DP's.

1070 is an all-girls team whose bot specialized in collecting lots of balls and dumping them in the corner bin.

Bot 4: the low number means this team his been with FIRST from the beginning of (west coast?) competition.
Along with leader #968, this one was in the winning alliance in LA. Why? It can't even store balls.


This one is designed to have balls refilled into the top by humans (as was 968, the leading scorer in LA).

1197 in the testing area under the stands.

1717's pit-neighbor, in the testing area.
