Gotta love that four bar linkage arm. Great job!

Nice! I think this is the first falling crab robot I've ever seen!

Well, we always like to be inovative and try something we've never done before.... plus we think that drive system willl be very advantagious to our plan this year.

Thanks for the comments guys! :D

Yet another wonderful job done by the HOT team. I've got the chance to see this robot in person. It has an AMAZING drive train this year. The arm on the other hand.. was not functional. But the manual motion of the four bar linkage was nice and smooooooooth. Good job. I'll see you at ypsi when 1504 follows you guys around.

Does look very smooth. Can you use the arm to hold multiple tetras or is having four more for versatility reasons?

[Salik Syed]

love the chassis ... cool crab drive too

[Salik Syed]

Just saw your claw design... very good and simple solution! Can you get all 4 tetras on w/o the human player...?

Theres no extruded on our bot... its all 1x (1/16th wall) box aluminum...:confused:

We can get 2 on there very quickly, and lift them without any power loss :D

Thanks Dane. Our arm is perfectly functional now though... don mislead people :p ;)

Very nice, how well does the robot hold up from the bounce of being tipped? (onto the 3 by 5 foot base) Did you do anything to help it hold up better?

We actually don't 'fall' persay, we 'slide' down the wall like we did last year... though this year it's a little different ;)
