So cool, and yet so terrifying!


To be serious, I want to see some very scary bots, so thanks if you post a picture or video of one.
PLEASE GIVE CREDIT TO THE TEAM WHO FIRST TOOK THE PHOTO!!! PLEASE!!!

Note: By scary I mean so awesome that it is scary, not the kind that gives one nightmares.

I saw 469s robot last year. Does that count?


Oh we need a link. Here's a perfect 90 pt. Auto from last year at MSC: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dmF_R4jlDY#t=20

I think what you mean about this robot is that it is scary awesome! Can't wait to see it preform at Worlds!

[nxtmonkeys]

Your statement was worded much better than mine.

Hey now...

The "BOOM" isn't that bad... As long as you don't dry fire :eek:

[nxtmonkeys]

(whacks self in head with giant pneumatic cylinder) Why did I not see that THE CLAW was also a crossbow? Arrrrgh! So confusing!

[ShadathChow]

Team 67's robot this year is crazy scary.

[Rypsnort]

we have had people tell us our bot looks evil.

[Chadfrom308]

Ours isn't as scary as our name says it should be...

[Damiaen_Florian]

My team had to play against 1114, 2056, and 2337 up at IRI, I mean that was pretty scary.

[PandaHatMan]

Our bot doesn't look scary until it drives. While it may appear 'tippy', the CG of our bot is just a few inches above the bumpers.

Our 6 wheel drive (6" diameter by 2" wide wheels with blue nitrile inclined belting) combined with our 2 3CIM ball shifters with ratios of 1:7 and 1:18.75 give us so much torque our robot can pop wheelies :ahh:

I did not mean scary as in bad. Just frightening

However, getting hit by the ball would probably literally kill you

[MooreteP]

Do you want to see something really scary?

Team 195, The CyberKnights, will be competing this weekend at the Southington District event.

Check out how it's targeting lights illuminate before the shot. Notice how it spins the ball in its grasp as it carries it.

Great driving to elude defense.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FngzL85tBwE&list=UUaN_y8r2itH3hUljz8wc_Vw
This was the only match that they lost all weekend, until the QuarterFinals.
An aberration that should be corrected this weekend.

A unique design that can shoot on the fly. A necessity to make shots in a game that defense is changing.

[nxtmonkeys]

Massively powerful, and thus, scary. Nice find!

[Christopher149]

Scary: playing against 107 for three consecutive matches. There was no stopping them at Escanaba.

[JosephC]

217 at Centerline had a shooter that shook the entire field when they shot.

[nxtmonkeys]

Here's a new scary bot: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/img/8f2/8f20b86899b51b229021d79165e80531_l.jpg

[CTbiker105]

230's "hammer bot" is a tad intimidating, to say the least. Their 2 ball autonomous is phenomenal. Props to them for winning the Groton District Event. I'm curious to see how they preform at the Southington District Event this coming weekend.

On Team 16 we thought this robot was scary good as well...

[Tmeziere]

I have nightmares of team 2826's robot

1126

I don't need to say anything besides that.

[Johnnybukkel]

1126

What? Our robot? Nah Howie is pretty cuddly!
Disclamer: Howie is short for Howitzer.
Disclamer 2: Howie shoots with almost 300 pounds of force, and has a 100T sprocket, so it is not very cuddly.

This is how you know when someone is in FRC, when they talk about cuddling with a 120 lbs robot that can fling a ball with 300 lbs of force!

In this thread, scary == awesome!

[dodar]

On the practice field at Orlando, we had a few teams say that our robot sounds like a tank or a mortar firing. And we kick with 400+ lb spring force :p

I agree: if there's one scary robot I've seen in New England, it's 195.
Such speed and power.

Also, I think you have the wrong match where 195 lost-- that was match 15.

We were watcing New York Tech Valley and whenever we saw you guys do a shot we all threw our arms up and screamed. Like, there was an instance where you guys almost scored a goal from the loading zone and it was great.

Can confirm: Have spent many late nights shooting Howie. He is very cuddley when mech leaves so software can work

[Mrcope9]

Scariest Robot? Sidewinder from 624. That is a scary good robot.

Scared us a little bit.

Software can never ever have the robot. That's how it works so well!

[samfruth]

I don't know about you but I think 1710 is pretty scary this year...

[pyroslev]

I had a team tell me today that my team's robot was scary for two reasons:

Good on it's own.

and our ball pickup makes noises you typically hear in the black room of a haunted house at 3:00 am.

I took both as compliments.

Dear God was anyone hurt?
That would've made me poop my pants to be honest...

[cglrcng]

Now that was a hit. Looks like that Gif Bot lost its pants...or there was something under it all the way there...5 speed overdrive...sarted 2 fields over. Did they both actually live? Now we know where yesterdays rule came from...A ref's. true nightmare come true.

How far does it throw/ are you still using that launching mechanism?

Couldn't edit the last one, so:

Here's a new scary bot, made by team 5939:

Uhhh, they bring me to the google login screen. Maybe it's my computer.

Me too, I think he was trying to link to email attachments or something.

But I saw that baby up close in Milwaukee, and it's really something.

2481 is my nomination for most "scary awesome" in 2014.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NEaVj4dT8s

They won in Wisconsin, with good reason.

I was about to mention them, you beat me to it! Their use of swerve, their fantastic pickup mechanism, and their accurate shooting made them by far my favorite robot at the Wisconsin regional.

Awww it has a gentle grasp but definitely don't mess with the shooter we actually shot it from the blue zone over the truss bounced it and it went straight in the top goal

Thanks for the props on our 2-ball auto. We have gotten it to a good solid place. Very proud of the programming students. :cool:

Don't be intimidated by the teeny, tiny sledge hammer. It's got a Hello Kitty sticker on it so it's perfectly safe. ::safety::

Of course, your shooter is much more intimidating especially when seen up close where you can hear it cocking for a shot. :ahh:

[nxtmonkeys]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I FOUND ANOTHER AND IT'S GONNA EAT MEEEEE!

You think looking at their robot is scary? Try catching the balls they shoot in auton.

And then there was two.

The students on our team decided to make a spooky robot reveal video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbGKGYMBeoI) this year. Hopefully it lives up to this thread's scary standards.

If 67's robot decided to eat you, it probably would've before you realized it wanted to. Most of there robots are like that.

[The other Gabe]

2046 has a super fast robot that just likes ramming people, so it's terrifying to face... Skunkworks has a pretty robot, and 2471 Mean machine has a big scary claw thingie

Give a cookie to whoever made that video!

[Mike Marandola]

Dear God was anyone hurt?
That would've made me poop my pants to be honest...

Luckily no. It looks worse than it was because I got startled and stopped recording.

[JoshD4327]

Very scary bots, 4327s bot is far from scary, we have a frinedly robot.
