Strangest thing built with FRC parts?
I've been looking about the web and found some pretty odd things built with FRC parts, including a robotic couch, mecanum forklifts, and more. What's the coolest non-competition object you've seen made entirely or partially with FRC parts?
(my personal favorite goes to the couch) |

Driving Tank-Drive with a Wii Fit Balance Board is always a blast

You use GlovePIE to find the Wii Balance Board details, send it to the RoboRIO over Open Sound Control and viola. I also did a project using the Kinect, driving the robot by moving your hands up and down to control the throttle of each side. |

Our champbot was built mostly with FRC parts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTUfxL1B0KM
Out of date speed controllers, motors, pneumatics, etc. |

It wasn't entirely FRC legal parts, but I once built and FRC-style backpack compressor with an Arduino-controlled cooling fan that drew more power than the compressor itself at full blast... and generated about 1 pound of force of upward thrust. No, the backpack did not fly. But it did everything to increase that 9% duty cycle.
There was also the time I attempted to build and program a Segway-style drivebase for FRC, but never got that balancing loop programmed and tuned in right. However, that ADIS16448 worked like a charm. Maybe a degree of drift after 2 minutes, you couldn't really see it. |

It's a robot, but not an FRC robot.....and it turned into a movie....

423 built a go cart robot that we used to drive around the halls during school and race kids running the track during gym. I personally built a ~1x2' mecanum robot I used to drive in circles around people walking in the hallways and cause general confusion. School-wide wifi and security cameras meant I could drive it around from the other side of the school with fair visibility and a good wifi connection. |

We have a recliner mounted on a mecanum base.
