Mini-bot coming soon.

Can't wait to see everyone at NJ and DC.

Good luck to everyone this year!

[Ted Weisse]

Well done, very entertaining to watch. I also like you operator controls that let the code do some of the work. Hope your minibot is as successful and good luck.

[AllenGregoryIV]

Wow that is impressive looking machine. I love the integration of the FIRST Logo as a feeder indicator and your control panel looks awesome. I do have to ask how hard are your drivers working that they have to have refreshments that close to the controls?

The robot looks great, good luck this season.

[gyroscopeRaptor]

Your robot is going to top the ranking list, and your light system is the best yet. You are going to do well this year.


Also, yetch OH MY GOOOD

[nuggetsyl]

Great video. Hope we do not have to go against you.

[Grim Tuesday]

Amazing robot! I love your gripper, especially, a top tier roller-claw!

took the words right out of my mouth.

[Seathan93]

an amazing robot with a killer light display...and...there are cup holders on the driverstation


took the words right out of my mouth.


that's about all i can even manage to say, i was awed

I love that your claw is hinged and pops out which is, I believe, what allows you to have your telescoping arm have two and not three stages.

What kind of wheels are those on your rollers? Your claw is beastly. Seems like all you need to do is touch the tube and it is yours.

To do that thing with the water jug, did you put a bunch of weight at the cap of the water jug?

The wheels look to be BaneBots

Akash,

Yup, 2 7/8" 30A banebot wheels.

jblay,

It pivots out to get it inside of the sizing box like you said, or we would have needed 3 stages (much simpler with 2).

Maybe... it might have already been broken... ;)

[Navid Shafa]

Loved the video, loved the music, loved the LED's, Loved the design.

Pure Awesome!

It was a pleasure pit neighboring with you in Atlanta last year, hope to see you at World Champs again this year!

[Waffles]

Looks awesome.

Is simple. Jesus.

XD See you at DC!!!!

[Lowfategg]

Is simple. Jesus.

XD See you at DC!!!!

Thanks,

Actually its one of the most complex bots 2016 has built.

Yup, see you guys in DC.

[pacoliketaco]

I can't wait to see you guys. I love the single stage arm, such a simple concept yet i am sure it was quite the engineering challenge. also the lights are pretty amazing. 4 days till jersey!

ps. you should play skrillex straight from the robot

[Blackphantom91]

Dubstep YAY. Your robot is great I especially like the driver station its really cool.

[IKE]

:eek: Great job.

[Tobot]

Fantastic work. Your control station is brilliant. I'm curious to see where your minibot deployer will fit.

[ks_mumupsi]

:eek: Great job.

Ike- when do we get to see 33.....

Tobot - its fitting to one of the sides. You will see it in action by end of thursday.


Thanks everyone for your votes of confidence, I know there are still far greater machines under wraps, ala 469 from last year..

I am sure we will see some great stuff before its all said and done.

[s_forbes]

So rediculously awesome! I hope you make it to St. Louis, I want to check this thing out in person. Super clean approach.

The typical questions: any particular reason for 8wd? What motors do you have driving the arm up/down and in/out?

Thanks, definitely one of the cleanest bots I have ever worked on.

Smaller turning circle, more stable, and better traction.

Arm up/down is done by 2 window motors, in/out is done by 1 FP.

[ks_mumupsi]

For those wondering here is our minibot in close to final configuration..

Have fun as week 1 begins!!!

[ghostmachine360]

My favorite part: the cup-holder. :D

Great robot, guys!

[Dripto]

You guys were great in new jersey. Grats on the win and hope to see you in St. Louis! :)
