I'm glad you guys were adventurous enough to take this approach and pull it off! Now when people call my ideas crazy or impossible I can point to this video and say "wanna bet?"

How much of that is tether?

This was one of the "robots" I hoped someone with the skill to pull it off would build. That being said, there are still about 3 more "game changers" I am hoping to see.

Amazing. So inspiring. Curious as to what the reaction of a spectator might be, after someone tells them its three robots on a side- "hey, why do they get to have five?":). (148's three tethers and the other two Alliance bots- even better if there happens to be another tether team with them) That'll be fun to explain.

The following is a video from Team Invicta, the World Champions from the 2013 season. At 1:23 they pick up a stack of 3 "building segments" and at 1:43, they score a stack of 5, all totally autonomously.

I wonder if there are ex-FLL team members on 148.

I was also reminded of FLL upon seeing 148's work, but instead of the 2012 FLL World Champions, "Falcons Japan" from Tokyo.

They use two tethered components from 0:09 to 0:24.

I would also be interested to hear if 148 was inspired by FLL.

The refs will just have play the game "follow the tether", kinda like following breadcrumbs!

Just about like every year with these guys! So awesome, what great execution.

I can't wait to see them set it up in the little time allowed. Will be the true skill of the drive team.

So I watched this briefly last night, saw the main robot, and was still amazed at how quickly and smoothly they can stack the totes.

I came back to it this morning after watching the thread blow up and I can't stop watching it. I love this design. I'm not going to go as far as to say that we should just hand them the blue banners now, but they're going to do well.

Well done 148. Thank you for continuing to be an inspiration to FIRST teams and engineers worldwide.

WOW 😲

Are the 3 auto bins still attached to the winch after auto? If so, how easily can they be used?

Regardless, I'm crying a little right now, because I just realized that there's only a 1 in 8 chance of being on the same division as you guys. I'd be surprised if this machine didn't win at least 2 matches at champs.

A lot of jaws hitting the floor this morning, mine included. Incredible robot guys, can't wait to see it in action during a real match.

Had to watch it several times and was in shocked that someone would tether off the main bot. Congrats on a very solid robot can wait to see it compete in action

Re: Robowranglers 2015: Batman & Robin
 
I wonder how the process of pitching this design went... Probably from "laughable insanity," to "questionable viability," and finally "bewildered acceptance."

Re: Robowranglers 2015: Batman & Robin
 
It would take an alliance of The Riddler, Mr. Freeze, Bane to contend with this awesome robot by 148.

This game is getting more interesting...::rtm::
