A lot can change in five years.

A few more but still not that much

I'm willing to bet someone a whole dollar that the roller is definitely a kitchen rolling pin. Also, no idea what that bolt circle on the close end of the roller is doing...

Wow, I'm surprised by the way it looks. All that square and rectangle tubing looks more like a 1678 machine :D
The wheel spacing really has me surprised though. Maybe they are just planning to never take the moat slowly. I really want to see this thing play.
If only the picture had a couple more pixels we could really dig in to some of those insides :)

Too much bent sheet metal, not enough polycarbonate, it does have at least one piece of wood however. Sufficient levels of rectangular tubing.
Agree with more pixels, love me some pixels.

i have a feeling that is there to hold the bearing in instead of a collar clamp and longer amount of (heavy) hex it also makes it much easier to to pull out the hex shaft and replace the wooden roller

They look like rivets holding the bearing in.

I don't really think using rivets would be very good for easy maintenance and replacement of the roller. It's a bolt

Very interesting from the Simbots...is Karthik still terrified of all the low bar-capable designs?

Looking good as always guys! Can't wait to watch it in action (of course over a live stream)!

Re: Team 1114 - Simbot Sentinel

I'm very eager to see Simbot Sentinel competing at GTRE this weekend! Making guesses, but I see what looks like...

- ~32" long x 24" wide frame
- 6WD with 8" Pneumatic Wheels... hard to see anything for the drive gearboxees
- Short utility arm for 1) harvesting balls, 2) loading shooter, 3) operating CDF and Portcullis
- A scaling mechanism that is a two-stage arm. May use gas springs to power hang?

I honestly can't tell what the shooter is... it looks like either a wheeled shooter, a catapult, or a shooting mechanism on an arm (similar to 846 and 1690).
