As always, the deadline is theoretically Saturday at midnight Eastern.

Go!

[dodar]

Umbrella and cup on cardboard + water bottle in background = water game teaser!

[EricH]

Hey, guys? Did we misplace the Oompa-Loompas that were supposed to be operating this contraption?

[Andrew Lawrence]

Ahh.....freshman.....

[PAR_WIG1350]

Clearly they are prototyping a light weight hover-bot in an attempt to avoid using the rover wheels on rigolith. Luckily , they soon realized that low traction is better than no traction.

[nitneylion452]

"I knew we shouldn't have bought that robot kit from IKEA!"

[Ninja_Bait]

Maybe it's time for them to start using the kitbot again...

The CAD was nice, but they just couldn't build a custom robot.

[Taylor]

Okay, it says Step Two: build a prototype. Check.
Next, let's see ... Step Three: ??? - What the....

[Hallry]

"If we use the Force to pick up, lift, and shoot balls, does that have to be included in our KOP?"

[Al Skierkiewicz]

Thinking outside of the box and in the box all in one mechanism. Now that is efficient designing.

[rsisk]

Amazing what a difference powder coating makes:

[Wayne Doenges]

The students were told to think outside of the box so they made their robot out of the box.

[Jim Wilks]

With 2 days to go until ship date, the team still has a bit of work to do. Nobody seemed worrried yet. Shortly after this picture was taken, the serious work began...

[dodar]

*NPOE* Billfred needs to just give this week's win to rsisk, it has been quite sometime since I've seen a post that really made me laugh out loud.

[S.P.A.M.er 17]

Only needs a few zip-ties, and at least one C-clamp before this robot is Einstein ready.

[cgmv123]

Design process for conveyor: 1: Develop a concept. 2: Prototype 3: Uh, what's the third one? I don't know. Uh, oops!?! :D

[JaneYoung]

This was about the time the orbit ball made a wise move and requested safety glasses.

[rachelholladay]

If they dont get the Creativity Award I dont know who will

[akoscielski3]

I think we followed the box instructions perfectly!

[GaryVoshol]

Someone tell them Boxing Day is 2 weeks before Kickoff.

[J.Warsoff]

We need to get a larger budget.

[DonRotolo]

Although they had a championship robot, the printed images on the frame made it perfectly clear that it had been designed prior to kickoff and was therefore disqualified. This was team 399's first experience with the Red Tape of the rules...

:rolleyes:

[Billfred]

Someone tell them Boxing Day is 2 weeks before Kickoff.
