Impressive!

You guys need to come back to Wisco next year!

Re: Wildstang 2012 Reveal Video
 

Okay, now I'm scared. :eek:

Another excellent Wildstang machine! The low bumpers and drop-down skid looks familiar...

Best of luck at Midwest, I hope we get a chance to play with you in St. Louis

I think we can give 'stang the "Best Camera Usage Of The Season" award now

Re: Wildstang 2012 Reveal Video
 

Reminds me of 148's 2009 video :p

Re: Wildstang 2012 Reveal Video
 

Between this and 118's video, I feel like FIRST could definitely start something extremely cool here. Watching reveal videos like these is awe-inspiring, with an emphasis on the inspiring. Great work Wildstang!

From another thread:

Even if there wasn't an award, if FIRST just recognized videos like these reveals on their website they could definitely spark a lot of interest.

Re: Wildstang 2012 Reveal Video
 

I think an award like this would be awesome! They do animation, why not video? It could have a due-date, they're not too hard to make (mine took me, what, a day or two?), and are a great way of showing your robot to others. Not only are they INSPIRING, but they're some of the coolest things to watch! It would be even better, since you're being judged on the quality of the video, not the robot in it. You could have a robot like 111's (just an example, since it is the 111 thread), and have a not as good video (this one is awesome, again, just an example), and you can have a rookie team who's robot only uses 2 out of 4 CIM motors with a great video.

I'm for the Unveil Video Award (UVA).



Back to the original topic, this has got to be one of my favorite videos of 2012, solely because of the scene with the camera inside the ball. 148 in 2009 was my favorite because of this, and though 118 this year took the #1 spot, I think videos like this one are just plain awesome (UVA winner? ;)).

Re: Wildstang 2012 Reveal Video
 

Awesome job as always. I particularly like the bump traversing mechanism. Any details?

Re: Wildstang 2012 Reveal Video
 

Awesome machine, and digging the Volbeat.

Re: Wildstang 2012 Reveal Video
 

Quite possibly the best reveal video of all time. Nice work to whoever put this together.

Not to mention the robot looks awesome.

Re: Wildstang 2012 Reveal Video
 

I can't help but notice during the building sequence, there were a whole lot of student hands working on that robot.

Just sayin'.

Re: Wildstang 2012 Reveal Video
 

As everyone knows, our students don't actually design or build the robot, so to make it look like they were working on it for the video, we hid cookies inside the unfinished frame and turned them loose. It looks believable. Either that or they were actually doing the work :rolleyes:

Great video Harrison, Alec, Josh, and whoever else worked on it.

Re: Wildstang 2012 Reveal Video
 

Ho-hum another turreted wheeled shooter.............



JK :) Great work guys, can't wait to see it in person Saturday.



And I second Taylor's comment.

Re: Wildstang 2012 Reveal Video
 

I thought someone just dropped a contact and they were looking for it for 6 weeks :rolleyes:

Great job on the video guys. See you on the field tomorrow
