 I urge them to build the kitbot and repeateadly smash it into a concrete wall in order to sate their anger. It will soon wane when they manage to do more damage to the wall than to the kitbot. That is honestly the reason that we ended up using the kitframe this year. - Andrew Blair [more] |

These just keep getting increasingly absurd 
Maybe next year the game pieces will just be shirts, and we'll have to distribute as many as possible

In that case, a lot of teams will have a head start

Leave it to Metal In Motion to come up with a design that is ridiculously simple for a task.
Next obvious question: What's the scoop on the drive base? Prototype? Custom for this design? Any insights for those who may dare to venture off carpet in the future?

I assume it doesn't shoot them all at once (You never know though so I had to ask)? Certainly gets the award for most T-Shirts able to be carried and launched from a robot (without reloading).

Billfred, the base is a prototype we had from the 2007 season. We've used a similar design the last two years, but this one looks more off-road. Thanks for the compliments.

Now for someone to make a robot that carries around a container of shorts and reloads itself...
maybe some camera use for autonomous crowd tracking and shooting?
but sweet job on the bot!

That apprach was definately considered, but we didn't want that big of a challenge. Maybe a redesign

Good night....and I thought I had a lot of free time. Props for building it. It certainly beats out my cannon by a longshot. Now I wonder just how many t-shirts you can deliver with a degree of accuracy. not saying that you can't, of course, but it'd be neat if you can get all 10 into the crowds in a single volley. I'll give you props if you can do that.
Oh, again, very cool.
