2883 3 Working Prototypes

Team F.R.E.D.'s 3 functioning robots are all prototypes at this point. Two of them are our drive train test bots will allow us to test different wheel and drive set-ups for this up coming season. We are testing out a set of mecanum wheels and a set of side by side omniwheels. Our third bot is last years robot with a loading arm attached to test out lift designs for Recycle Rush this year.

Neat! Do you have any pictures or data yet you would like to share?

Re: 2883 3 Working Prototypes

If there's no video, it didn't happen.

You... um... you realize that another member of your team posted the exact same thing just a couple of days ago, right?

If you are posting information in the Robot Showcase thread, please do the following things, at a minimum:

1) Consolidate all of your team's ideas into one thread. It will make for easier, more concise reading, and better allow other teams to track your progress.

2) Provide some detailed information as to what's going on, including things like pictures and videos. This will show off your ideas in a concrete way (a picture is worth a thousand words, a video is worth 30,000 words per second) and will make your posts seem more reputable. I could claim that our team has a working robot that can stack ten totes, four bins, seven noodles and a potted plant, but if I don't have pictures or video, no one would believe me, and rightfully so. :p

Anyways, keep these things in mind and you will go far. Best of luck on your robot this year, and have a nice day!

Agreed, except so-called "teasers". Teasers aren't worth the energy spent inhaling the breath required to supply oxygen to the finger that enables it to click on the photo.

Didn't your parents ever tell you that every frc robot implodes after it's game year is over?

Re: 2883 3 Working Prototypes

Troll posts must be a "thing" this year

Re: 2883 3 Working Prototypes

Just trying to make a point that "3 working prototypes" seems to be a little misleading and keep the conversation lighthearted. :D
