I like the ramp for getting the 3rd bot balanced.

Another year, another BEAUTIFUL 1501 robot.

There's a lot of cool stuff to like here. The shooter chain reduction and run is pretty mind blowing to me. I'm guessing the sloped surface is multi-functional, despite being as simple as a single piece of metal with some hidden way to actuate it.

Best of luck this year.

The slope surface does ramp up, ramp down and serves as a landing platform for other bots. Once again a coll bot from the minds of 1501.

When you see Chris ask him about how #25 chain can fly apart and smack you in the face.

Awesome looking machine. That chain up top must be fun to watch at shooter speeds.

Confirmed: It's a new rivet record!

Can't wait to see it in person at BMR.

Looks fun. It is very "riveting" (as usual).

The chain does have a guard made for it. It's just not on in this picture.
As Indy Sam said, when we had a the #25 chain on it would throw itself off at shooting speeds (3000 rpm :ahh: ). It threw it off three times and Chris caught it once with his face ::safety:: There wasn't any damage done to the chain :D

Just kidding, looks great!

Looks nice, loving the ramp to get the 3rd bot on the bridge!
