nope.
I dont even think our decals have been designed yet.

though i did buy us from funny stickers from hot topic that will probably end up on the robot.

Optical Sensors...

woo someone got it!
but they aren't just optical sensors:)

hehehehe

so if someone can guesse the other part i'll post a video!

Webcams mounted on the robot?

hmm...i dunno...:D

woah that would be sweet...
2 webcams mounted on the robot...
you could composit the video into 3d by putting polarized lenses on them....and wait....thats a great idea but its farther off then the correct guesse!

2 "Optical Mouse" type devices for robot postitioning?

well since you guys are getting warmer in some ways but farther then others here is another tidbit that I just pulled up from our inventor archives from week 2 into the build season.

Of course to keep up the mystery parts have been removed:)

Those are banner sensors btw...
but thats not all they are!

omg what could it be?

dude...i'm so confused! what could it possibly be?
let's see:
box re-orientator?
webcam?
optical sensors?
rotary encoders?
tractor beams?
anti-gravitational stacking device?
lego men bolted to the robot?
the uss enterprise?
tennis balls?
microwave ovens?
tape measure tongues?
hdpe gripper things?

i don't know, davy.:]

Are they sensors?

The eyes in the drawing seem to fit in with the sensor idea

Sensors mounted to servos? Judging by what looks like a servo control horn mounted to the bottom of the plate... Do they rotate back and forth to detect the human-placed stacks, and then the robot can "steal" the stacks???

I'm thinking that this could be close.... when i was looking at the inventor drawing i noticed that whatever that round thing is on the back side sure looks like it matches up with a servo.

wooo we have a winner!

We thought we were being all cool and original when we came up with this...
though i recently found a post from another team last year that mentions something similar last year...

Trig is used...and other cool stuff...we can seek and destroy boxs...really fun to watch...i'll post some vids soon.
