It's pretty small... I'm guessing it doesn't stack boxes?

I think it was built to hold some really cool treads ;)

Your robot looks great! however you are going to want to protect you light. We hosted a scrimmage this weekend and the robots had spirited contact with each other. If that light is outside the protection of your frame there is a good chance it will get detached.

it is a multitasking bot. We have 3 different ways we can do stuff to it. It isn't the fastest thing, but NO ONE is going to get it to move unless we want them to. :D

Ill post more later.

I would not bet on that.

your robot look nice but protect-protect-protect

It looks like you can not go under the bar.


I bet you guys can climb up other robots with that set up.

You'd be suprised what people can move. If nobody can move you more power to you but trust me someone will always find a way. Looks great (besides the fact that i hate those giant treads, personal opnion about the looks). Good luck

It fits under the bar extremely well. It is about 12 inches high, and at full, uninhibited power it moves at about 8-9 mph. It works extremely well as a defender since at the beginning of autonomous, it can just shoot back, knock the other guy out of track (if they are using a timing code), and sit there and defend whatever. It can also push extremely well. I, who weigh about 150 lbs, sat in an empty trash can and it pushed me around without any problems. It climbs like no other. We put different objects in front of it, including 2x4s and 4x4s, it it went over them like that were not even there. I find it to be fairly decent for us being a rookie team. As for protection, all sides are covered by 1/4" lexan except for one, which is coved by about 1/2" of solid aluminum. :D
