It looks like some type of hopper device.

just a wild guess, but I think it's something other than what will be the robot....

When you say that it's stainless steel.. it better not be going on your robot unless it's a battlebot in the super-heavy weight division. :p It looks to be a human capturing device of sorts...

It looks like a device to open up and herd lots of balls... What confuses me is why it'd me made out of stainless steel. Must be quite heavy.

But freshmen jail is a good use too.

Where did he say it's made of stainless steel? Wayne just used the word 'stainless'.

Where teasers are involved, it's best not to assign prejudices and assumptions because that's what makes your guesses wrong.

Not only would it be too heavy in stainless steel, but I think based on that person's arm positions that it is wider then 3 feet.

That's the cage you keep the new robot in to keep it from eating small children and livestock in the dead of night :D What sort of Evil Volcano Magic have you used to create this year's Machine? You didn't sacrifice Big Mike, did you? Poor Mike ...... atleast he will be warm inside the Volcano, it is so cold this year.

Considering it is big and stainless, I don't think it does anything on a FIRST robot. However, I could be wrong.

I think it's typically understood that stainless steel is the only common material that you can call "stainless". Actually.. why would any robot have anything stainless? Is there a chemical bath spray that someone didn't tell me about! :ahh:

Actually, the bent pipe, the welding, and the dark(er) grey color make me assume it's some sort of steel. I'd be surprised if it were a robot part. :)

I don't think it's an inappropriate assumption -- I'm just pointing out that it's an assumption. It may be an assumption they're counting on us to make.

Maybe it's just stainless in the sense that it doesn't yet have robot blood spattered all over it...yet.

It hasn't been lightened yet. ;)

Looks big enough to hold big ball(s), small balls, maybe even big enough to grab a whole moveable goal? How about squeezing closed any of the goals to prevent allowance of the balls.

Pretty darn 'robust' . :)
