 I'm absolutely certain there are simpler ways of accomplish the same things. I'm simply not the best that FIRST has to offer in this regard and part of what drives me to keep going is the desire to get better at achieving an elegant solution with as few superfluous processes as possible. - Madison [more] |

2009 prototyping
Similar design as 2006 robot but no omni-wheels due to FRC rules. Improvements will be urethane belting on both sides of the conveyor and the use of a CIM with a Banebots planetary gear box to drive ball collection and conveyor. No shooting this year as we are going for a simple pneumatic dump bin.

Re: pic: Zippy 2.0
Is Zippy 2.0 the name of your robot? Our team's rookie robot was called Zippy t. Turtle (because we used lots of zip ties) and last year is was Zippy two (many zip ties too). I thought we had the name trademarked...just kidding. If you call is Zippy 2.0 it better do really well otherwise you are dishonoring the name. This year I think we are calling it ZT, like ET, the extraterrestrial. Where are you going to competition?

Re: pic: Zippy 2.0
