1625 Radical Redesign [Archive]

Looking Toroid

03-30-2009, 10:04 AM

I understand Team 1625 Winnovation has completely re-designed and re-built their robot, except for the chassis/drive train.
Apparently, they wanted to score more in autonomous, and found that their new autonomous mode was so good, they're just going to use it for the whole game.
I'll post more info as I get it.

Looking Toroid? Using autonomous mode for entire match? What sort of a joke is this?

Wait a second, I get it! This fella is beating us to the April Fool's punch by posting two days early. Good one!

Oh, and as for 1625's new design, I believe it looks something like this

I'm not sure it meets the bumper configuration rules!

This just made my day...the bumpers could have been purple tie-dye though...then they really would have rocked.

Hey, Andy, you sure that software to keep him inside the bumper perimeter and keep the trailer hitch in the right location works? You do that, I'll take care of the rover wheels...

Rover wheel Segway walle?

I love it.

Edit: Jane, you are totally right!

Everything looks better with purple tie dye for the record.

Something seems very off. Those don't look like Rover Wheels...

That's an ingenious camera design, for sure.

OK guys, you got me!:D
I was hoping for another 24 hours to really milk this. Oh well!
I even have video of the upgrade, which was going to be a totally autonomous robot - namely, one of our team members riding around on the chassis, picking up moon rocks and throwing them into a trailer.
In any case : Happy April Fools' Day, from one of the biggest fools around!

this is Oregon robohawks' lead programmer and I happen to know that they made an awsome bot this year.
They placed top 3 teams at the chicago reginal
my team was mentored by them last year.

Don't forget the signal light Wall•E needs to pass inspection

Don't Wall E's arms exceed the maximum dimensions at times?

Hopefully not, maybe it's just the perspective we have! But look at Wall-E go, no orbit balls in THAT trailer :yikes: (Andy I love you :P )

That's where good programming comes in to prevent that from happening. :)

Great! Pink will be dryhumped the entire Championship and 1625 will wonder why their bot's always sad!

some one should really add rover wheels to that image

O i get it Walle compresses all 120 moon rocks and 8 super cells in his compressor (without breaking the no ball damage rule), all in autonomous. Then proceeds to shoot them out into an opponents trailer, he then proceeds to play defence the rest of the match(despite there are no more orbit balls), because those rover wheels look like they apply much greater traction than usual. He gets the high score of Lunacy and rockets off to save the human race.

O wait that was Andy Baker!:D

Thank you!

How can he play without an orbit ball?

http://lh4.ggpht.com/_-AQ1h_gLd2w/SdhU7_xUMVI/AAAAAAAAJKo/8s__8Fcifkk/Wall-E%20Lunacy.jpgInternal storage. You can't see them because they're inside his compression unit. Keep an eye on your trailer if you see this robot coming after you!
