I'm assuming they didn't feel like photoshopping wheels in this year. ;)

Re: Team 254 Presents: Deadlift
 

Maybe because colsons get better grip on the HDPE than they could get with other tread?

Re: Team 254 Presents: Deadlift
 

They had enough to engineer this year? Standard wheels will work fine for this year.

Re: Team 254 Presents: Deadlift
 

Pretty sure this thing would bottom out driving over the step with the clearance shown. Then again, it seems like there are a lot of things that still aren't being shown, so I'd guess that these aren't the actual wheels.

Awesome job guys - looks like another great season for 254.

which is 254 x 10^23 meters... :ahh:

Re: Team 254 Presents: Deadlift
 

By the looks of it, they don't need to drive over the scoring platform that often. I would assume only on rare occasion they will drive over it judging it upon how tall their intake is but I don't know.

Re: Team 254 Presents: Deadlift
 

Can someone explain this? Who is the nefarious Ej? I've seen him everywhere and seen pictures of his face but never understood it.

Re: Team 254 Presents: Deadlift
 

Not on the team (obviously) but from talking with Nick Hammes, a mentor for the Poofs, EJ was a student on the original 254 team. He is now a mentor for the team and is the only person still on the team who was there at the beginning.

Re: Team 254 Presents: Deadlift
 

There's something sinister (in a good way) hiding behind that blue exterior, I can smell it. There's no way the robot is that simple (in terms of what it does).
Or maybe it is and I'm reading into it too much.
Also nice recycling of 2014's intake (hue, it's recycle rush so you gotta recycle right?)

Re: Team 254 Presents: Deadlift
 

One of my initial ideas that I presented to my team was so similar to this robot, and other ones like it. Had to turn it down for simplicity's sake this season, though. Such a good looking work of art as always.

Re: Team 254 Presents: Deadlift
 

My thought is that we are only seeing part of this bot. It looks too light and the intake rollers are higher up than I would expect. If this is the entire robot I can't wait to see how it works. You know it is going to be good. Good work 254 you never cease to amaze.

Re: Team 254 Presents: Deadlift
 

Well actually, the students on the original team were from a different high school.
We still have one of the students gold medal that he signed and gave to us back in 2000.:)
EJ was on the 2001 drive team from the current school. I oughta remember since we were their 3rd of 4 robots on the alliance at the California (name I forget) regional event.

Everything on the robot is photoshopped except the wheels.
