Our Robot - Rutheford

Team 14760C was full of new members of the club, but they all worked very hard to become an amazing team. Their robot, Rutheford is able to carry 1 tower on their front lift, and they have a back support that is able to move to help them upright themselves in case they begin to tip. Their robot is reasonably fast, which provides an advantage for them to get towers in autonomous, and immediately begin stacking

This team's design has been pretty consistent from the start, but they have always been making improvments and tweaks to progress the robot.

Since Rutheford is able to stack on the balance, this team performs well in skills matches.

This team preforms well in autonomous because of Rutheford's speed. They take a different approach than many teams, and they choose to get the middle towers first and then score a ring into the smaller towers on their way back to their alliance's side.
