who got the pts for the last white 1?

@a2304

I don't believe anyone got points for the one on the wall between the 2 robots. I think both robots were touching the ball negating the points.

The pin was an axle with a collar on it (to keep it from dropping through completely). The pin was resting on a quartered green gear at the start of the match. When the wheels rotated out, the pin slipped over the edge of the gear and locked the wheels into place.

Hi,

Thanks. If you go to the team's most recent Youtube video entitled, "Green Egg Robotics, Fred III Clean Sweep Highlights" you can see a closer view at 1:42-1:55 of the robot and mechanism in slow motion as it opens.

First i must say. Simply Incredible! You dominated out team in Elevation, and now this!

I am just awed at how the things click into position but i cant get my head around how they click in and how the pin drops, could you possible explain how you got it to lock in? My hopes for round up are currently down the drains, but hope to see you there!
