I wish those green bumpers were legal, they look so good.
Robot's looking great though, let's see if it can live up to the legend that was the 2011 machine.

Have fun getting this tank through the border.
Danggg that looks sweet, especially with the green bumpers. Question: Is your 8 wheel drive dropped, or is your bridge manipulator lifting the entire front of your robot up; in the picture your front 4 wheels are sorta off the ground...
P.S. Also, you may want to re-evaluate your front bumper numbers...

Great theme and from top to bottom, an amazing bot once again! Unfortunately we won't get to see you all at any of the regionals this year, but hopefully we can come down to Waterloo to watch you guys!
Looking great as usual.
Why did you decide to go with such a low gearing considering your success at high speed last year and your driver being the same?
Good luck in 2012. I look forward to watching some entertaining 1503 matches this year.

Theorizing here:
Last year was a very open field, lots of travel from one end to the other. This year is basically a pair of 27x27 fields. You also want to make lots of very precise moves (they have no turret). There are numerous reasons to be geared slower this year.
You are also making a very dangerous assumption that the driver is the same.

ahh :P we are going to Tennessee, Toronto West, Cincinnati, and Champs :)
Good luck :)
Is there any videos?

Well I assumed based on nicks profile still saying driver, like last year. But I know what happens when I assume...

They have tanks in Canada?! I thought the phrase "Canadian Military" was an oxymoron :P
Nice job guys, another excellent robot.

DANG. That's a pretty robot. Unfortunately, I won't be seeing it unless we make our way to St. Louis. Good luck!

Floor pick up? Weird.

Like.
If there was any team that I thought might not do a floor pickup this year it was going to be 1503 ;). Nice looking bot there.

For the record, the green bumpers are our demo/practice set.
Our competition bumpers are legal.

Reminds me of 1918's robot, which was really cool. Great robot, good work

Canadians with tanks how funny! :yikes:
Sick robot 1503 best of luck to you guys this season!
Looks sweet! Too bad you can't use those bumpers at the competition.
Looking forward to seeing you guys at Worlds.

Looks amazing, great to see the team still delivers robust bots.
Hope to catch you guys in Waterloo or even St.Louis!

If you are a typical US high school student, might be interesting reading up on what actually happened during the War of 1812. As the US spent most of that war getting beaten up by the British, we tend to gloss over it in US History.
(Hint: The hashtag #OccupyDC would've been all over twitter.) :rolleyes:

Your team could have the best drivers and the best drive coach out there all complementing each other perfectly. However, if you don't have a great strategy to go out on the field with your team will only be successful in certain situations. If you have both, you're pretty much guaranteeing a win every single match. I feel with the great ability you have Nick, your strategy and assessments will only be more beneficial for the team.
Also, great robot and good luck this season.

1503 is Canadian. :) The one and only country to burn down the white house, probably another thing forgotten in the history books.
Never though of commemorating a robot to the war of 1812 though, even though a lot of the war was fought in Windsor where my team is from lol.
Nick, would you mind stating what your footprint is? And, can you fit three balls?

It might not a true tracked tank but guess where the LAV 25 used by your marines was designed and built - London, Ontario, CANADA. We also sent several of our Leopard C2s to Afghanistan where they were used by the Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadians) http://www.strathconas.ca/arrival-of-leopard-2-to-ldsh-rc/?id=748
