Will the Air Force Robot Fly?

12-01-2002, 22:43
It doesn't fly, but it does make loud turbine sounds and it requires a steam catapult to get going.

-smokescreen (trying to differentiate the steam from the smoke)

Air Force Academy has a Battle Bot.. Not as FIRST Bot as far as I know.. as for the possibilities, not all robots have to be designed to kill.. We could be excavation bots, or exploration bots, or other -ation bots.. I run out of words when I run on this little sleep.. oh well.. Yeah.. it'd be cool..

But the "Army of One" has to go..

we joke around with my friend who is at the academy, "How's it feel to provide air support for the army of one cadet??"

I was on Team USA along with a couple other technokat team members. I didnt do a whole heck of a lot for the FIRST competition but i did do a lot of work for the Chief Delphi Invitational (CDI).



Here is the Team Member List:

So are you saying the Coast Guard isn't good enough? Ya know some of the stuff they do is nuts compared to other branches of the military ona daily basis. The cadets at the academy get props from me, I spent a week there one summer and couldn't/didn't want to hack it.

What is team USA and how do you get on it

The Coast Guard Sponsors Two teams one sponsored by the Academy and one by USCG Project Resident Office Marinette. and I believe the Naval Academy also has a team

You would be surprised at some of the stuff the CG does their Port Security Units (PSU's), Tactical Law Enforcement Teams (TACLETS), and Law Enforcement Detachments (LEDETS) are just as cool as any Army Unit!

ok if there called "TACLETS" why would you do anything else, thats an awsome name. I wanna be a TACLET!!

Sorry! Accidentally posted it twice (go figure). Also, like I said, contact me either here, or at CyberDefender@hotmail.com :p
P.S. To all our military fans, my brother is at Ft. Hood, in the Army (of course). My grandfather fought in D-Day, in a half-track with dual howitzer machine guns ( I think that's correct, just what I have been told). Anyone in here have military family history? You can see my first post below! Sorry!

:D BOOYAH! FIRST POST EVER! :D
Also, my brain told me that it would be much cooler if this game was played with autonomous robots, with real-time multi-agent collaboration! *Look it up, it's real.*
http://www.robocup.org <----This is the good stuff.
Also, does anyone in here know PBASIC, and know it WELL?

Thanks,
-Jonathan:cool:

How would you guys like me to tell you how to build your robot with 3, 4, even 5 SPEED Transmission? Let me know, and I'll consider it.

Oh, and "We're sending the robot out for KFC! Anyone coming?"

Hey all,

Just got into this thread late... sorry. Thought I'd let one of the earlier posters know that yes, indeed, the US ARMY does sponsor at least one of the teams.... Team 614 is sponsored, in part, by the US ARMY Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate (us).

Wishing everyone the best of luck at this year's competitions!

I can see it now... the US army with its battalion of robots... you know, if we do use robots for war in the future, that would decrease the number of conscripts and increase the number of innocent civilian casualties.

It's an interesting thought, but I suspect the war of the future to revolve around cheaper ways to kill people

eg Smallpox.
AntiCrombieDuck
25-01-2002, 19:38
the military should sponsor FIRST, like a military version of FIRST, we could buld stuff that flies or amphibious things, in whatever task they made. iT COUld be fun and beneficial for the military. lol, just we cant sell out to osama or anything.
SharkBite
04-02-2002, 12:52
im not sure why they would be selling our robots to the military since our team is actually sponsored by the navy and thier engineers ..........

unless the engineers somehow forget everything they showed us and then want to buy the design back.........
SharkBite
04-02-2002, 12:54
oh one more thing about military sponsors....... they dont give you any money

we have the engineers and a place to work (an old submarine material warehouse) but we fundraise our entire budget

we havent had a flying or amphibious robot yet either..... but you could drive any one of our robots into a wall at full speed and it would be fine
David Kelly

i got in trouble today for sending an email that said "Confidential" on the subject line to one of our engineers at Rolls-Royce. that usually sends up a fed flag at government places like that.

You can just go outside and pick up a rock for free...
That's pretty cheap, right?
