This is an incredible robot! It is so clean and it seems every ounce has been well thought out and taken care of. Great job! How fast does it go? How fast can it lift?
Oink Oink!

I see you guys have a pneumatic pivot on your arm, what is it for?

nice robot! we have a minipulator that picks up the ball the same way... and ours works!
good luck!

edit: after further review... what are the pnuematics for? we have them too, i wanted to see if we use them similarly

Obviously the most competitive and visionary claw system out there.

I like it, nice and simple design and if it's anything like your 07 robot it's bound to do well

As the lead engineer mentor I want to congratulate our hardware guys putting together one awesome robot. Looks great up close.
Way to go team!

Nice machine guys, I'm sure it's going to rock out a nice hybrid mode too. Does it function the same as 121?

What motor is powering the arm?

Re: pic: Team 1902- Exploding Bacon 2008 Robot
It looks really cool! I am jealous of your design. If it hurdles as well as 121 showed us it could, I'm seeing this type of bot as a powerhouse.

Re: pic: Team 1902- Exploding Bacon 2008 Robot
I'm curious how influenced you were by 121's design?
Looks great, the color scheme is very nice ( not like any walrus or pig I've ever seen ;-) ).
Good Luck This Year

Re: pic: Team 1902- Exploding Bacon 2008 Robot
Thanks for the compliments guys, what you see here is almost done just a few add ons such as a ball knocker for hybrid period and also noticed a need for gas strut on the arm while driving it today.

Should answer most of the other questions, I think.

Re: pic: Team 1902- Exploding Bacon 2008 Robot
does the globe motor on your roller claw backdrive at all when you have the ball sucked in? that was a problem we had with it when we tested ours.
other than that, your bot looks awesome!

I commend 121 for releasing the video so early. May ours work as well as theirs.

It is a very nice machine! Great job.
One concern that sticks out at me is the pointy ends on the claw, and the one square inch rule...you might want to think about ways to blunt the four points. One way to do this might be to move the last spacer out to the very end, or add another spacer out there.
"<R04> Protrusions from the ROBOT shall not pose hazards to GAME PIECES, team members or event staff. If, in the judgment of the inspectors or referees, a device on the ROBOT poses a hazard (particularly puncture or impalement hazards), the team will be required to remedy the situation before the ROBOT will be allowed to play. If the ROBOT includes protrusions that form the “leading edge” of the ROBOT as it drives, and are less than one square inch in surface area, it will invite detailed inspection. For example, forklifts, lifting arms, grapplers. etc. may be carefully inspected for these hazards.
Note that robot inspectors will be looking for sharp corners and edges that could cause injury, pinch points, entanglement hazards, and impaling projections. Please mitigate all such hazards. This is for the protection of team members as well as game equipment."

How do you plan on knocking down the ball?

j/k, we are still working on how exactly we are going to do that, but are pretty close to finishing.
Thanks everyone for all the compliments.

I <3 detailed inspection. We havn't popped a ball yet but I guess we could impail people, I guess we could try on some of those annoying ..... uhmm nm .. We'll take it into consideration thanks.

Re: pic: Team 1902- Exploding Bacon 2008 Robot
I was concerned mostly from the impaling people perspective.
You have those tube spacers between the claw panels, it seems to me it would be relatively easy to just add another pair at the very end, and that would make the point into a corner.
