3 Questions!!! (1/15/04)
Hi all, here are todays 3 questions...
1. What was the rookie year of Baxter Bomb Squad? 2. In Maize Craze, what was the game object that your robot had to pick up? 3. The FIRST competition was based on a competition held at what highly recognized engineering school? To all who are getting disgruntled at the fact that my questions are mainly 98 and before, remember, even if you are a rookie, most of the answers are on this board somewhere....ive said most of them myself! So if you do a little research, you should be able to get them right.

Wow, Dave beat me to it today. I agree with him:
1: 1996 - that was a banner year of rookies. In fact, Beatty was #1 seed at Nationals that year as a rookie. The rookies from 1996 were dominant the next year. 2: Tennis balls - we still have that robot somewhere at Motorola 3: MIT |
Re: 3 Questions!!! (1/15/04)
1. 1996. My own follow up trivia question; What year did the Bomb Squad not participate?
2. Tennis balls. 3. M.I.T., I think Woodie Flowers used to teach a course directly related to the competition. /edit: took out a typo |

Re: 3 Questions!!! (1/15/04)
They punched the ball through the side by holding it on the front, six inches above the carpet with a suction cup. The big ball was larger than 24", it was either 30" or 36"' The pnematics were terrible back then, so they had the ram mounted on a four bar and raised it mechsanically.
BTW. Tigerbolt could pick up the small eight inch balls and the large ball with the same mechanism. Amazing. Mr. Bill |
