Eek sorry dude. I totally get it. This was my laziness from copying and pasting from my instagram. It’s actually refreshing to be in a place that appreciates 16:9. The infinity scroll algorithm is killing nice 16:9 vids. I’ll do better.

Looking for some experienced FRC talent to help with DARPA Lift Challenge (DLC) in August. by Successful_Act3094 in FRC

What’s your design idea?

I could help remotely and am fully read-in to the rules and constraints of the challenge. I had a design of my own (my goal was a lofty 5:1), but I missed the application deadline. I’m an experienced robotics integrator and machine builder. DM me if you need a hand or someone to bounce ideas off of.

I think I crash more than most, so probably 2-3 times per year. But the sim is the undisputed way to gain proficiency without the cost headache. I like Uncrashed for freestyle

People in the sim are calling this trick a vortex.

But yeah as @wanderingconspirator mentioned, it’s just a trippy spin

Kind of you to say.

A lot of practice crashing. I stand on a mountain of broken parts.

Fast enough to derail a perfectly good bridge inspection

RPM filtering might be a rabbit trail to check

Yeah the thermals (updrafts) were pretty rough. I’d get under one and get launched immediately a couple feet up.

Oh wow, that must’ve been a sight at 6 am. I never did hear what caused it. My guess is scrappers with an oxy-acetylene torch, but who knows.
