WOW!
Staying awake for more than 48 hours brings out the best in us... :eek:
(Ah.... a thumbs up from Ian! One wheel completed, 3 more to go) ;)

I'm pretty sure he got lazy and stopped after 2, then just used ball casters.
Silly Simbots. ;)

Why are his safety glasses not on! That's a big no no! HAHA :rolleyes:
My hand is holding the motors in place, but it works!
Woo late night making things work. :)

Holy crap.
I take it back; that's even better than the 'NSync picture.

Give us six more motors in the kit, and we'll try and come up with something... ;)
This is my favourite picture of Ian. It didn't quite make the cut for his UFH photo, but I figured it deserved some airplay...

Well, to be precise, we actually did build 4...but 2 of them went on the practice robot :).

why is that date 2000 01 01?

In all fairness, that picture was probably taken about 1:30 in the morning, after countless days working late. Now that I think about it, I dont think Karthik, Ian, Phillips, and I got out of there once befor midnight. We always did our best work after 1am.
why is that date 2000 01 01?
That explains it!
They've been building this robot for 4 years.
No wonder they got it working so well.
why is that date 2000 01 01?
The same reason that people have a blinking time on their VCR. Those guys at 1114 have a few mental roadblocks when it comes to technology. Lucky for them that they had Ian. ;)

Congrats to Ian. FIRST is an awesome thing to be a part of, and with people like Ian involved, we know that the future of FIRST is bright.
Your designs are stellar. When I got a tour of the 1114 robot this year at Atlanta, I was in awe. Not only is this design unique, it also performed very well in many matches. Then, these crazy Canadians go and post the design in the white papers for all to see.
Awesome.

I remember that night...
Karthik: "Nice gearboxes, let me take a picture!! Why is the date flashing on this camera...(5 min later)...I can't get this thing to work. Ian pose for a picture with that thing you made. <click> I think you should put those gearboxes down and get some sleep, your starting to look like a mad scientist."
Ian: "I won't put them down. There mine...all mine!! My precious."
Karthik: "Ok, you can take them home and sleep with them tonight...but this is the last time!!!"
Ian: "Ok"
Tyler: "Can I stop putting holes in our robot's arm now"
Karthik: "NO!"
Ahh...what a great season.

ya, that was a good night. Ian finished the gearbox, I drilled a bazillion holes in our arm, and Karthik wouldn't let me stop. Although we did make weight, those holes did come back to bite us in the $@#$@#$@#.
Hey Paco, you wounldn't know anything about that, would you?

Hey Paco, you wounldn't know anything about that, would you?Probably not. He was too busy daydreaming about girls and 1978 Pontiac Trans Am's during that match to notice what was going on. He'd claim our robot leapt off the platform on top of yours all by itself. WOW, XM7 must be an intelligent life form, Paco! I'm glad at least SOMEONE on our team is! :p
The stress of the season must have caught up to Mr. Mackenzie by the time of the Canada's Wonderland event - he was completely bald (evidence below)! I'm sure rooming with Karthik doesn't help, either. Congratulations, Ian, on being recognized for all the work you have done for FIRST. I can't wait to see the Next Great Thing you have in store for us all.

XM7 must have been a genius of a lifeform. Because it managed to chase us around the field for a good minute and a half, before it finally caught us. :p We bobbed, we weaved, but eventually power beat finesse in that match up. Anyway, I don't know if Paco could have made that robot leap on his own. I've got some pictures of Paco's personal leaping ability from the Team Party in Atlanta. They're not pretty... :D

Derek, I think you've got most of that night right, except I'm pretty sure you and I broke out into pretty spectacular rendition of Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again". Now that's the real highlight. I mean, could anybody's life be complete without hearing my angelic voice?

IIRC, I think I had something to do with that (see below).

David Coverdale's ears must have bled that night.

Is this why you picked 229 in Long Island, and 48 in Toronto?
At least you silly simbots learn from your defeats.

After seeing what a solid robot can do playing total defense, it became apparent that Simbot needed a body gaurd. I think alot of other total offensive teams learned this. 71 and 494 is another perfect example of a total offense and total defense alliance, and they did pretty good, didn't they?
As for Karthik's singing, well, we all got out of the room as fast as possible. All except for Simbot Simon, who's autonomus code wasn't finished yet. Simon was never quite the same after that.

At least you silly simbots learn from your defeats.I love defense. As great as Simbot Simon was, there was a large part of me that wished we had a grizzly defensive robot. So it should be no surprise that we picked teams such as 229 and 48 last year. To quote the great Woodie Hayes, "A good defense will beat a good offense, and if it doesn't it'll sure leave them something to think about for next time..."
Aside: John, defense is important in these games. But who won when 1114 and 229 faced off in Long Island... ;)

ooooh john that sounds like a challenge... :D maybe a 1114, 229, 48 alliance could be something to pursue in the future... LOL ;)

It's true..
I could make excuses, but it certainly wouldn't give you the credit you deserve.
We were beaten fairly.
Watch yourself in 2005 K-man. I learn quickly.
I won't EVER make the same mistakes twice.
(I have a whole list of new mistakes to make!)
We <3 Simbots,
John

It means half the people reading this thread are Googleing those terms right now to find out what a NSYNC and a VCR is.
