looks awesome
can it manipulate game peices? im assuming it can hold two robots on it.

ps thanks for all of the help from you guys during the build season (were from wayzata)

looking good i like the ramp material tractionwise
too bad we won't be back at wisconsin to go up it

As of now, no there is not any game piece manipulation. We have dreams of a possible autonomous mode, but we'll have to see. Its main goals are defense and two robots at 12".

Thanks. We loved playing with you guys at Wisconsin last year. Hopefully we'll end up in the same division at the Championship.

Please tell me there's a bearing block or some sort of support on the outside end of that banebots shaft... it looks badly cantilevered, you're probably going to have serious issues if it's not supported.

The ramp looks great!

We shipped the bearing blocks with the robot because we never got around to putting them on. The robot has had a max of 45 mins. total driving time as of ship, so we haven't put too much stress on them, thankfully.

The ramps worked out nicely after we went through a few iterations of our original design. They are strong and have good traction, but were a little heavier than we'd hoped. Thanks for the comments!
