Wow! Can that swing a tetra over the top of the robot?
I like the blue vision panel. ;)

I guess if you really wanted to :D

The dual FP motors work real well for the arm, we had to slow it down quite a bit to be operator-controllable (or maybe we need a faster driver). The blue stuff is clear lexan sheet, still has it's protective covering on for shipping. We also have an active tetra manipulator, a claw you can just see there. C'mon there's something else very interesting here that you're missing...

Anyone have any guess as to what FMG stands for?

Here's a better pic.

I am guessing you are indicating to the omni wheel drive. The robot looks sweet. Great job! :)

nope, sorry. What's FMG stand for? :confused:

Well, it's an inside joke, but our cover is: Friendly Metal Giant/Guy

And yes, the omni-drive works extremely well. I guess we'll all find out how well killough drive systems do in competition, I'm counting 5-6+ teams just on CD alone that have some sort of holomonic motion capabilities.

Yea, we used twin FP's for our lift too.

All the cool stuff's on the rc :D (OBVIOUSLY biased opinion)

People at SVR will get to see our stuff in action :cool:

An inside joke? I still don't know what it is! (And I don't think I ever will).
