Oryon Labs - 2015

[lynca]

Team Oryon is back again to participate in Robot in 3 Days.
We will update this thread with our prototype and Q&A about the build process.

We have a new website. http://oryonlabs.us/

We will be uploading videos to our 2015 youtube playlist (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ecf3MScwIVk&list=PL1xeI-etDlLiO7YeUcAHQVC_Gros5xTvs).

We are going to be as interactive as possible especially in the prototyping and building process. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Our live webstream will start on Jan 3rd. http://oryonlabs.us/?page_id=58

Nice! Can't wait to see what you guys come up with this year-- last years was in my opinion the most interesting bot to come out of Ri3D/BuildBlitz

Wow, I just watched your reveal video, and this year's oRyon robot is truly fantastic. I'm impressed by the ease with which it lifted those large stacks and capped them with containers. Great job!

We have a whitepaper coming out soon with the full details about the design.
This robot design still has a lot of room for improvement.

We hope the design inspires and helps many rookies achieve something even better than "Betelgeuse" (http://www.bendsource.com/imager/pick-beetlejuice/b/original/2398197/80f0/Beetlejuice.jpg)!
