How can it be that no one has posted this!

That's about as different as it gets. I really hope this is what their robot looks like (but obviously aluminum and powder coated a gorgeous blue).

I think ours is pretty unique! Circular base with a swerve drive train and wheeled shooter.

Check it out.

Our robot is turning out to be pretty different, although I didn't expect it to be. Check it out during premiere night.

Team 2403 uses a standard catapult, but we have a fairly unique pickup mechanism:

Re: Robots that are "different"
 

While 3512's design can clearly be traced back to a certain dominate robot from 2008, I think we have done a lot to make it our own. I have certainly not seen a bot with the same style of launcher as ours!

*Will be posting pictures and videos soon!

1710 has a unique play style this year.

Re: Robots that are "different"
 

We used a standard pickup and catcher, but will have a surprise this year. :)

Also, we have this: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...hreadid=127021

Re: Robots that are "different"
 

4301 went with an open-topped catcher (the framework of which can be seen here.)

We're also working on a combined pickup/release mechanism similar to 384 and 1086's 2008 robots.

Re: Robots that are "different"
 

I haven't seen too many robots like ours.

We went with a passive intake and a passive catching area.
Shooter is a swinging "hammer" (I know I have seen a few of those though.)

Ours is not a copy

Re: Robots that are "different"
 

There are a lot more design details in variations in the arm shooter class of robots. Similar form factor but tons of variety there.

I've seen a lot of cool catapult catching mechanisms too.

I expect the level of robot design parity to be similar to 2011.

Watch Dallas week 3...:rolleyes:

Re: Robots that are "different"
 

Our robot is very unique! We wanted to share earlier but since we were part of the FRC Top 25 Premiere we had to wait until now.

Check out Sea Cobra here:

6 blue nitrile traction wheels that are 2" wide.
6 CIM VEX Pro Ball shifter 2.65x spread with 60:24 final reduction.
The 6" diameter shooter roller is powered by 2 RS550's in simile gearboxes to a 18:36 belt reduction.
The 3.5" pickup roller is powered by a miniCIM to a 15:62 belt reduction.
