Have you all seen the new product line from AndyMark? I think it’ll revolutionize the way bots are built in the future. These would be considered COTS parts and 100% legal, right?

Introducing the newest products from AndyMark:

Pinky – This telescoping, single jointed arm mounts low and has over 200 degrees of rotation! Perfect for picking up objects in front of and behind your robot.

Poofy – A 2-stage elevator that can reach way up in the sky and travel smoothly back down to earth in under 2 seconds! Binding issues and wobbly towers are a thing of the past!

But wait, there’s more! For a limited time customers purchasing these items will receive a Wrangler pole-climbing mini robot at no extra charge! (Assembly required. Deployment system, battery, and motors sold separately.)

They seem to have graduated from gearboxes to entire subsystems. Great job, guys! If they fit the game next year, count me in!

Once again, some of us are still in March.

I can provide reasons that it would probably be illegal (at least this year) but choose not to do so in this thread.

I wish AM really did post this joke. It would be great to grab a screenshot of the site.

Obviously, it is not too late for AM to have a joke. Maybe they can announce that all future Supershifters will be made entirely of M2.5 screws (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=94169) glued together with epoxy, because the screws play nice with other metal.
