Took apart/recycled the 2007 FRC robot - lifted two robots! Each wing had two 125 lb gas springs. the wings were taken off the field by disconnecting wing using two quick release pins. on youtube watch?v=b9rLeu0NYyU

Cleaning the robot storage in my car port. Said goodbye (took apart and recylced aluminum & electronics) to the 2009 Lunacy FRC robot. buttons (a joke) were designed for 2009 as the robot looked like a refrigerator.

Robot vision -- 3 main goals. #1 Planning automatic robot paths that maximize our speed and efficiency when driving. #2 Automatically tracking open slots for the robot to be able to score points. #3 Automatically finding the closest game objects to pick up and score
