After many days of designing, the Flaming Chickens began to  build Thunder, the prototype for Lightning. Obstacles arose and  challenges were faced, but the Flaming Chickens overcame each  and every one to construct the ideal robot.

 Lightning is fully loaded to be a fast and capable scorer in  LOGOMOTION. It features Team 1540′s first 6WD robot with  shifting transmissions for blistering speed in high gear and strong  pushing ability in low gear. Lighting has a jointed arm to allow for  quick and easy scoring, as well as to protect the game piece as it  flies across the field. Lightning has a pneumatic minibot  deployment mechanism for quick launches, as well as a  transparent claw for easy ground loading and tube placement.  Lighting also has a 3 LED matrix on the front to aid the feeders in  game piece delivery. All of these features are aided by a 3 camera  set up for maximum spacial awareness on the field. Overall,  Lighting is one of the cleanest and most complete robots that our  program has ever created!
