2002 TechnoTank

[Clark Gilbert]

Fellow posters, keep your eyes open and glued to the 2002 robots gallery because very soon some Technokat robot pictures will be uploaded.

One thing i must say about the pictures that will be uploaded is that they do not depict our current building status.:D

[D.J. Fluck]

As a fellow member of the Technokats Id like to make the correction in clarks post

It should say 2002 Robot :D

[Clark Gilbert]

Ok....The pics are up in the 2002 robot gallery here....

I'm sure i'll upload some better complete pics later. ;)

holy friggin cow!!! you're right... that is a tank

[ReijiH]

jesus, that thing is amazing. I'm not sure if having 6 motors would add that much of a benefit in term of power/traction, but it's sure great to look at. I must say that I'm simply amazed and also envious that technokats have the capability to make that thing;)

[Mike Soukup]

Is 6 drive motors all you can throw at us? ;) Now I guess I can stop asking you for hints Andy. Maybe not though because you still have some secrets.

The robot looks impressive as always. I can't wait to see the Technokats in action in Chicago, and hopefully we'll get a chance to pair up with you.

I haven't been following the rules closely (I'm not with a team this year), so this is off the cuff....

but I'm going to guess the TechnoKats have a robot grabber on that TechnoTank. There's nothing else worth keeping a surprise.

I'm sure it's a very kind and graciously professional robot grabber, but a grabber nonetheless. Can't wait to see them haul another robot and two goals at the same time.

I'm pretty sure I know what the suprise is check out team 857's bot for a hint.

[Matt Reiland]

Woww very nice treads and gearbox, next year 8 motors?

[Ken Leung]

I think the missing part is a really robust ball system that can do a lot of balls really fast... Maybe like 45 at 2000, or 111 at 2000, or 56 this year.

And goal grabbers of course.

[Clark Gilbert]

Thanks for all the comments on the bot.

One response that i have now is that we dont have a robot grabber:D ...


And all the other guesses were really close.;)

Remeber more pics coming soon.

(correction on one of the gearbox pics: i said we shift with a seat motor (i was tired:) ) but we actually shift with the window lift motor.)

I like your perpendicular accumulator. presumably the two sides both run inward and you just drive forward to lead them to the inside feeder?

[Clark Gilbert]

Yep...

We also have another "collector" assembly when we start on the other side of the Player Station Areas...one is red...one is blue..
