Team 973 2015 Robot Reveal
 

Team 973, the Greybots are pleased to present to you their 2015 robot Sandstorm!

Reveal Video

Sandstorm and 973 will be competing at the Inland Empire and Los Angeles Regional! Also we'd like to thank all of our sponsors for everything this year. It wouldn't be possible without you guys and a big shout out to Jackie and Lucas, a mentor and student on the team who helped put this all together!

For curious individuals, the link to the original song is here.

Very nice. I like how the bin arm is packaged with the carriage. I'm loving the innovation. Knowing 973 there's bound to be something not shown (or not clearly shown) in this video, so no doubt all eyes will be on the Greybots at IE tomorrow morning.

What's the reasoning behind the large carriage? Lower COG? It looks quite stable.
What are the second set of rollers for?
And most of all:
what wheels are those!? They grip the totes like magic.
Looks like a great robot as always.

Yep. It's on the real robot as of a couple hours ago, I've seen it. (Not shown at all, I believe.)

What it is... Y'all are just gonna have to watch the webcast. I'm not even sure I know what it all does...then again, I haven't seen their robot in action yet.

Cool design! What wheels are those on the intake?

Nice design! Are those R/C truck wheels?

From what I have seen, they are used to make sure that the totes come into the robot from the human station correctly. We are having a major problem with the totes not landing flat from human station. It has really stumped many teams.

Re: Team 973 2015 Robot Reveal
 

Looks like another great robot. Hope to see you guys in St. Louis again.

Re: Team 973 2015 Robot Reveal
 

Looks great. Good luck to 973.

Re: Team 973 2015 Robot Reveal
 

Awesome HP intake system! Very cool robot design :D

Re: Team 973 2015 Robot Reveal
 

Are there any video's posted of this robot in action? Specifically the HP roller intake. Also what was the secret element people we're talking about?
