This is a background that was created by Aidan Solala '12 of team 610's 2011 robot.

A lot of team members use it for various backgrounds.

It's not a full robot, but I thought this picture I took of a gearbox I made turned out pretty well.
The inspiration from 254 is obvious, even in how the picture was taken!

I would very much like to hear the story behind this...

Re: Best Robot Desktop Photos
 

I've heard the Poofs machine their wheels late in the season....sometimes very late. Never heard the full story either though.

As far as pictures go - 2008 picture of RAWC is by far my favorite.

I use two picture for pretty much all my backgrounds.

So suddenly, and rather quickly, Simbot BA took over my desktop...

We have a large stockpile of wheels from previous seasons, so usually the exact dimensions and interface of wheel we want to use is available for testing/practicing. As such, we only need to manufacture the competition-legal ones just in time to compete, since they're pretty light and easily fit within the witholding allowance.

Karthik was pretty disgusted last year when I told him at a Week 3 regional we were both attending that we hadn't started manufacturing any wheels yet.

I like that picture... Its a bit like "Simbot SS finally reaches the finish line."

Here is my current background.

There are quite a few nice shots on 118's website, but they're not high-res enough for a desktop. Great for a phone though!

Here's a picture of our 2012 robot. It stands out pretty well against the sea of metal robots. :D
