The StoryThis newly rebuilt robot takes a lot from our old robot Roachy but has so much more to it. Instead of fulfilling the goals to our 2016 game, the re-purposed parts now hold two large air tanks and a T-shirt firing mechanism, with on board air compressor. The main points we use this for is outreach. We being it to almost every outreach event and every home football match to show off its firing capacity. It can easily clear over a hundred feet whenever we fire at a higher angle, and pack a large amount of force. Plus the loud CHUNCK sound it makes as it is firing only adds to the spectacle. This has been rebuilt multiple times, and this is the latest iteration of the robot. It includes such improvements as the upgrade to a Roborio and more efficient components.
