Minutebots 2016 Reveal: Whiplash

This is Whiplash, our robot for the 2016 FIRST Robotics Competition. It features a 4-CIM drop-center drivetrain with six 8" pneumatic tires. For boulder manipulation, it has a mini-CIM powered Mecanum intake, which is used to score in the low goal. Lastly, whiplash has the ability to scale in the endgame, thanks to its CIM powered scissors lift and winch. Whiplash also features a multitude of autonomous modes, including a low-bar, low goal auto.

You can catch Whiplash at the inaugural Iowa regional in week 4, or at the 10,000 Lakes regional in week 6. Hope to see you there!

The MinuteBots would like to thank our generous sponsors, as well as our parents. We couldn't have done it without you! Also, we would like to especially thank our mentors for their (sometimes heavy) time commitments.
