FRC 1716 Redbird Robotics Presents: Walter Morrison Mk. 2

Named after the inventor of the Frisbee, our robot, "Walter Morrison Mk. 2" is our solution to the 2013 FIRST Robotics competition challenge called "Ultimate Ascent."

Our robot is designed to load discs from the feeder stations and then shoot them from the back bar of the pyramid, as seen in the video. We can hold 4 frisbees at once. Additionally, our robot can hang on the low bar for 10 points using our instant passive hanger.

We would like to thank all of our gracious sponsors for making our participation this year possible!
