What happened?!?!? That's the wrong shade of blue.
Seeing your robot with those wheels is, somehow, wrong.

Is it just me, or does it look like 254 made a dumper bot? And a wide bot, never thought I would see the day the Poofs made one of those... This is going to be an interesting year...

Well, the Poof frame looks nice, and does appear to be a dumper...but not certain.

nice
i like the field
is there any reason behind the hanging of the robot lol??
I'm going to say that it might be a shooter. You can't see anything behind the shirt (or the student), but somehow, I think that's intentional.

I finally figured out what "simulation mode" means - it means your bot is currently simulating frame members that satisfy R08-M. Nyuk nyuk. :rolleyes:
It also seems that Ron Weasley in the ThunderChickens shirt is doing a spot-on impersonation of "the usual" Paul Copioli facial expression.

Hey Cory,
Can you update the pic without the blue shirt?
Thanks,
Glenn
At first glance, I thought I saw a tall shooter robot right above the person with the ThunderChicken's shirt on.
Something just seems wrong in that pic, just wrong. I can't put my finder on it. Nice Job Poofs, see ya at nationals.

What, you mean the field that isn't covered in Regolith?
Better be some regolith come next Saturday...
Hey Cory,
I lost count, how many sides does that piece you're holding have?

My hair isn't usually orange ;)is there any reason behind the hanging of the robot lol??That would be our 2001 robot. We plan to put more on the walls, as it provides a good display area while staying out of the way.a wide bot, never thought I would see the day the Poofs made one of those...neither did iWhat, you mean the field that isn't covered in Regolith?
Better be some regolith come next Saturday...It's sitting in the corner waiting to be sheared to allow the correct border around the outposts and fueling stations.Hey Cory,
I lost count, how many sides does that piece you're holding have?
JVIt sure looks like 9...
When I first read the rules I was dissapointed to find out that we would no longer get to see the new things 254 did to their wheels. Looking forward to hearing about your robot from team members who show up at your scrimmage.
"Team 846 needs a pair of 54 wheels, preferrably in the chrome model...again that's 2 54 wheels for 846."
I never thought I would see 254 with a "wide" robot
How about taking that t-shirt off the bot? :D
See you guys in San Jose!

I'm not exactly sure removing the t-shirt would tell you anymore about "our" robot. :cool:

Hmm... I'm going to take a wild stab at guessing what's going on here. I see a touch of a mechanism at the top, and a massive hopper with collector at the bottom; however I don't see any belts in between them. (I guess one could be hidden by the guy at the front, but it'd be a pretty small conveyor) So here is my shot in the dark: the robot human and ground loads (based on the position of the t-shirt it looks like an open top) to fill up a huge hopper for a power dumper. The floor of the hopper is actuated upwards to bring the balls into contact a roller at the top that spits out balls until the hopper is empty. I'll guess capacity at 40-50 balls and dumping speed at 8balls/sec. Am I close?

Wait what.. you guys have a 217 shirt but I don't have a 254 shirt.. something is wrong here.

Judging by the two clamps, I'm willing to bet that the Poof scoring mechanism/internal belts aren't even mounted yet. A lifting hopper seems like too many moving parts, with too much possibility for failure. The poofs don't work that way.
My bet is that we'll see some internal belts and roller going up to a MASSIVE spitting device. I bet we're going to see a more refined version of the 2006 bot, that could unleash DOOM onto an open goal.
I agree with craig and luke, it seems like they have a spitter of sorts at the top (covered by the shirts), and I don't think 254 would make a plate with a hole for mounting something, and NOT mount something. I'm guessing a belt in the shape of a 7 or something that takes the balls from the bottom and spits it out.
Looks very nice though. I love the colored trailer
I spy, something two years old, and blue.

Find me in Atlanta, we can fix this.

Ok, if no one got it yet, I doubt this is 254's robot. This would explain the change in color. What the Poof's have prepared this year is still a mystery...
And a nonagon would be pretty hard to make in compliance with this year's bumper rules, just saying :p

Well it looks like it is a powered dumper. There should be a difference between the two kinds of dumper robots, there is one who simply releases all the moonrocks they have at once and one who can control when they are releasing the balls. For us we have a design similar and our "dumper" is able to shoot the ball up to 6 feet if we wish but normally will be scoring from as close as possible.

I agree with you, I'm pretty sure that this isn't the real one. The little hints in this thread already imply that a bit. We'll just wait until the open scrimmage comes around this weekend, the real deal should be revealed then, at least to the teams who show up.
I'm going to take a random stab, could this be....the Space Cookies(1868)'s robot? I don't know, an earlier post sort of raised that possibility in my mind.

If you look at our past robots they have never been the same shade of blue. The color this year is very similar to the color of our 2007 robot, the blue in 2006 was so dark it was almost black, and in 2004 half of our robot was red.

I think you are correct: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?p=821273#post821273
I am 99% sure this is the Space Cookies robot, I saw them a lot yesterday at 692's practice day and this picture looks exactly like their robot

aww beat me to it =(
The collaboration of these teams is a scary thought and as much as I would have liked to see it happen, I don't think it did happen. Mutual ideas here and there, but no real triplets/quadruplets.

Lets put it this way,
when we go to San Jose this year, I hope through the randomizer, we pair up with them and in the playoffs, get selected as the 24th and final playoff team as their 2nd partner! :eek:

Some of you are right about the origin of this robot ;)
We had the pleasure of seeing 254's bot in action today.
It is very scary.
We got to go head to head with the Poofs for 1.5 min before we rammed, literally head to head, breaking both of our robots in the impact :D
Nothing bad. We both got fixed.
254 '09 = Very impressive. :cool:

We asked all of the teams who've attended our practice sessions to hold off on posting pictures, videos, and descriptions of our robot. Our team is definitely humbled by the buzz surrounding the unveiling of our robot , but we would like to keep the suspense up a little longer. We are really happy with how our design choices have worked out this season. We are working on optimizing our systems and once everything is at 100% we will post clips of the yet to be named 09 poof bot.

That's very fair and disappointing at the same time :(
Hope you guys fine tune/release videos soon! :)
