CLASSIFIED INFORMATION!!!
 

I think first is selling robotics team designs to the military.

just a guess though.:eek: :eek:

hey do ya think the us army would sponsor my team...? :rolleyes:

yea they are gonna grab the afgans, and pull them to the goal zone? Ok ill give u that they shove balls down there throught but hey. Lets be realistic

duck u are awesome! i love u! remember--9 am @ labonnes--call me to let me know ur awake cuz i dont wanna wake up ur whole 1 bedroom apartment...

government
 

I'm just saying its possible...
(X-files theme heard in backround):eek:

it would be AWESOME if some form of military sponsored a team! imagine walking around with camo and stuff that said "army--be all that you can be..." on the backs of our shirts, haha sweet.

there is a team that is sponsored by the Coast Guard Academy

yes i know, but im talking about army/navy/marines. its just a dream :)

Colorodo Springs
 

am I completely wrong or do I remember Air Force Academy having a team too??

never heard that they did, but its sweet if they do :)

Air Force?
 

Will the Air Force Robot Fly?

it doesn't fly
 

It doesn't fly, but it does make loud turbine sounds and it requires a steam catapult to get going.

-smokescreen (trying to differentiate the steam from the smoke)

Air Force Academy has a Battle Bot.. Not as FIRST Bot as far as I know.. as for the possibilities, not all robots have to be designed to kill.. We could be excavation bots, or exploration bots, or other -ation bots.. I run out of words when I run on this little sleep.. oh well.. Yeah.. it'd be cool..

But the "Army of One" has to go..

we joke around with my friend who is at the academy, "How's it feel to provide air support for the army of one cadet??"

Is anyone here part of team USA?
 

Is anyone here part of team USA??

Team 121- Naval Undersea Warfare Center & Middletown HS

Been that way the past 7 years.

TEAM USA
 

I was on Team USA along with a couple other technokat team members. I didnt do a whole heck of a lot for the FIRST competition but i did do a lot of work for the Chief Delphi Invitational (CDI).



Here is the Team Member List:

team usa
 

who gets to keep the reward?

What is team USA and how do you get on it

The Coast Guard Sponsors Two teams one sponsored by the Academy and one by USCG Project Resident Office Marinette. and I believe the Naval Academy also has a team

You would be surprised at some of the stuff the CG does their Port Security Units (PSU's), Tactical Law Enforcement Teams (TACLETS), and Law Enforcement Detachments (LEDETS) are just as cool as any Army Unit!

Taclets
 

ok if there called "TACLETS" why would you do anything else, thats an awsome name. I wanna be a TACLET!!

3, 4, or even 5 magic speeds!
 

Sorry! Accidentally posted it twice (go figure). Also, like I said, contact me either here, or at CyberDefender@hotmail.com :p
P.S. To all our military fans, my brother is at Ft. Hood, in the Army (of course). My grandfather fought in D-Day, in a half-track with dual howitzer machine guns ( I think that's correct, just what I have been told). Anyone in here have military family history? You can see my first post below! Sorry!

Hey! Hey!
 

:D BOOYAH! FIRST POST EVER! :D
Also, my brain told me that it would be much cooler if this game was played with autonomous robots, with real-time multi-agent collaboration! *Look it up, it's real.*
http://www.robocup.org <----This is the good stuff.
Also, does anyone in here know PBASIC, and know it WELL?

Thanks,
-Jonathan:cool:

How would you guys like me to tell you how to build your robot with 3, 4, even 5 SPEED Transmission? Let me know, and I'll consider it.

Oh, and "We're sending the robot out for KFC! Anyone coming?"
-Me, at a design meeting.

Hehehe, this sounds like something I may have said...

colet ur special

no swearing
 

to the person that said "ur gay"

please i dont want any swearing on the forum i started, clean up or you are no longer welcome.

im sry, is that ok. Its not a swear or anything, its a joke between me and hear dont be so anal about it.

US Army Sponsoring Team
 

Hey all,

Just got into this thread late... sorry. Thought I'd let one of the earlier posters know that yes, indeed, the US ARMY does sponsor at least one of the teams.... Team 614 is sponsored, in part, by the US ARMY Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate (us).

Wishing everyone the best of luck at this year's competitions!

*points to my above post*

The navy sponsers teams too! I can think of 2 others...

9, and she dosent know words like that?`

What are the team names eddie?

Robotic future
 

I can see it now... the US army with its battalion of robots... you know, if we do use robots for war in the future, that would decrease the number of conscripts and increase the number of innocent civilian casualties.

It's an interesting thought, but I suspect the war of the future to revolve around cheaper ways to kill people

eg Smallpox.

Osama
 

the military should sponsor FIRST, like a military version of FIRST, we could buld stuff that flies or amphibious things, in whatever task they made. iT COUld be fun and beneficial for the military. lol, just we cant sell out to osama or anything.

im not sure why they would be selling our robots to the military since our team is actually sponsored by the navy and thier engineers ..........

unless the engineers somehow forget everything they showed us and then want to buy the design back.........

oh one more thing about military sponsors....... they dont give you any money

we have the engineers and a place to work (an old submarine material warehouse) but we fundraise our entire budget

we havent had a flying or amphibious robot yet either..... but you could drive any one of our robots into a wall at full speed and it would be fine

i got in trouble today for sending an email that said "Confidential" on the subject line to one of our engineers at Rolls-Royce. that usually sends up a fed flag at government places like that.

Re: Robotic future
 

Faster, better, cheaper?

cheaper, thats a joke

i dought it would be cheaper

Smallpox is cheap?

You can just go outside and pick up a rock for free...
That's pretty cheap, right?

ugh not my point, and steve what did i say too you!

Recruiter Calls:

"Hi, may I speak to your robot for a moment?"
