Re: rational thought
 

That sounds like what happened to our robot. I won't say who did it, but we definitely did not appreciate it.

Dem squad motors?
 

to the 10/ 8 motors for the drive system:

How many motors did Demolition Squad use on the 2000 rob0t? and what gearing if any1 knows... cause I remember VERY accurately that everyone was SURE to get out of their way! they were MAD strong!! (when I say MAD, i mean MADDDD)

This year's comp is going to b interesting to watch

-RoboGirl

I seem to remember that team also damaged it's robot so badly it caught fire right before the next match and was forced to forfeit and settle for the silver....

so even when you lose rational thought, think about the consequences...

Flame Throwers!
 

I say let Get out the flame throwers :)

Re: Dem squad motors?
 

It used the two Drill Motors and two FPs with custom gearboxes on both. Not sure on the gear ratio (top speed of maybe 11 fps.)
It had *very* impressive power and a *very* clever design--my favorite that year.

It is in my opinion, that the more metal carnage the better:) Dean even made the extra effort to say that a robust machine will make a diffrence in this years game.

Let the push and pulling begin, and i wish ya'll luck if you want to move us:D

this will make people think
 

hey,
I like this because this rule will make you think... I you don't allow people to pick other robots, the whole point is to make us think of ways that we can stop the other robot from picking us up.. thia will help us student think. not just throw a robot together and say go... we will hav eto think offencivly and deffencily.. this just up the level of compotition. I say leave it as is and deal woth it... If they allow us to modify the rules then we will keep modifying the rule an dby teh end there will be no fun in it.. so forget about changing the rules and make your robot adapt....
bobby.... :rolleyes:
