Pigxel

With a 24 feet-per-second high gear, Pigxel can race across the field and assault the opponent’s switch, or alternatively leverage its rotating arm to quickly and efficiently fill the Exchange. This season Pigxel competed at the Orlando Regional where was 5th seed Alliance Captain Semifinalist, the South Florida Regional as a Semifinalist, and the Hopper Division at the  FIRST Championship in Houston as a Quarterfinalist.
