Now that's a big fan you have mounted there.

Re: pic: 30 points
 

At least you know you will have one fan this year.

Re: pic: 30 points
 

Yeah, but so far, only us Michigan teams are going to have to deal with it...always in Michigan...

In all seriousness, it's gonna be a good defensive bot, and if this 30 point climb is legit, this could be a first alliance pick. This thing could have a good enough defense where you can't afford to have it on an opposing alliance.

Week 1. Traverse City. Good luck Code Red!

Now is about the time when I wish you were coming to West Michigan. Oh well, there are still webcasts.
How fast can you climb? 20 pt dump?

...competition :/ great looking bot, I'm not sure if we will have our climber at traverse city, but it will be at grand blanc for sure. We built a shooter and climber but it is a time crunch to get both finished and in working order. Glad to see another defensive bot. Good luck!

Is the fan larger than the base or just mounted outside of the frame perimeter?

Re: pic: 30 points
 

The fan rotates on a horizontal axis so that it can start within frame perimiter.

How loud is the fan?

I would like to see some video of this in action.

Calvin, don't you think you should have erased the drawings or turned the board before taking the picture? :)

Re: pic: 30 points
 

The real question is, will Code Red compete with a black robot or a red one???

......I spy an industrial fan.

Re: pic: 30 point hang
 

I was hoping someone would be mounting a giant fan on their bot for defense, we considered this idea.
