This might just be a teaser, but man, between this and 118's bot, I dont know which is the best looking one I've seen yet this season.

Goals for 2013:
Time to invest in some neon/LED lights, a water jet, and more powdercoating colors!:ahh:

Re: Killer Bees Team 33 - 2012 Teaser
 

If (right, if ;)) this robot lives up to usual Killer Bee 33 quality, it looks as dangerous as it is on the field. The yellow underglow, the black powder coating in contrast with the honeycomb design. Seeing things like this make me a little jealous I don't live in Michigan to see monsters like this in action.

I'm definitely watching Kettering this week! Can't wait to see what The Bees are bringing to the table!

Re: Killer Bees Team 33 - 2012 Teaser
 

Haha, it actually has a stinger :).

I'm assuming that little guy is for touching the key.

Very Nice.

Re: Killer Bees Team 33 - 2012 Teaser
 

Looking forward to seeing you guys this weekend at Kettering! GREAT looking robot! Would be cool to see a repeat!

Re: Killer Bees Team 33 - 2012 Teaser
 

I'll second that repeat! :)

Yes, the stinger for bridge lowering, the lifting ball gatherer, may allow for some one to feed you balls by shooting top side? looks like an articulating shooter, with camera targeting with a light ring.... and was that TANK TREADS? or just a few of those pneumatic end wheels left over from last year?

Tomorrow will tell.

Once again an awesome bot.

Did I see a drifting drivetrain?

Re: Killer Bees Team 33 - 2012 Teaser
 

Keep in mind it is slick concrete...

It is a brand new custom drivetrain for the team. It uses a lot of best practices from other years robots (ours and other designs we admire), but it is pretty unique.

Re: Killer Bees Team 33 - 2012 Teaser
 

Umm.. yaaaa, that's what it's there for... sure, the bridge.. yaaa. ;)

Re: Killer Bees Team 33 - 2012 Teaser
 

Looks like a total bEast of a drive train. I'm excited about seeing how it works for you. Little Schreiber has specific instructions to get me pictures of it. I'm sad I won't bee at the Kettering event this year.

Re: Killer Bees Team 33 - 2012 Teaser
 

I bet it is a downward deploying dingus that is why there is a gap in the bumper so the thing can point straight down.

Re: Killer Bees Team 33 - 2012 Teaser
 

Nice.

Wide bot + 33/148 style stinger = 3 bot balance in elims?

We should've prototyped that... :rolleyes:

I really like it, can't wait to see it in action!

Re: Killer Bees Team 33 - 2012 Teaser
 

I am wondering what the black structure on the back of the robot, is it maybe like a mechanism like 118 for bridge balancing?

Re: Killer Bees Team 33 - 2012 Teaser
 

Oy, that thing looks slick. I tried to get a 2-tone powder coat this year with black and purple, but maybe this will convince the team lead for next year.

Re: Killer Bees Team 33 - 2012 Teaser
 

Killer looking machine this year Bees! :) I look forward to seeing it this weekend!

Re: Killer Bees Team 33 - 2012 Teaser
 

Even different than last years actuating drive train?
