Hey all
Of course no one is going to post and say, hey, no, you can't see my robot. Personally, i think Beach 'Bot has a fairly innovative design that i am very proud of, but after shipping the robot there's not much anyone could copy off of us. So, yah, Ken, come snap away, and anyone else who's got a camera and a desire to see it. We actually had plans to do something on our website with pictures of individual parts, but somehow our web designer (me) never had the time to actually do it.
But basically my point is, no one responding to this post is going to say, gosh i'm a prig and i don't want to share what i've learned by letting other people see what i've worked on. They might say that at the comp., but they're not going to warn you ahead of time.

I was at the VCU regional over the weekend and took TONS of pictures, I would just wait around the team's pit area till I got a good shot, or if it looked like the guys were just around the bot not working on it, I asked if I could have a pic. I know that repairs wait for no-man so I didn't bother anyone if they were working. I took lots of pics with people in them, I figured I'd rather get the pic with people then interrupt everyone. I posted all the bot pics in the Regional Pics area on Chief Delphi but there seems to be some problems. If anyone wants them my SN on AIM is chubtoad6 just message me and I'll set up an ftp account for you to DL them. Peace and good Competition!

Not allowing someone to take pictures of your robots is just juvenile. Even if they were to copy some of your ideas, so what? You've helped another team, even if they wont admit it build a better robot. That said, in previous years as part of our soap efforts(www.soap108.com) we have not only taken pictures but even walked up to teams and asked them their capabilities. I've never had a team refuse, and you will find with most teams they are more then happy to talk all day with you about their robot and how it works. That said anyone is welcome too come by the team 108 pits and snap some photos or ask questions.

My pictures are up from the Richmond regional. See my link below.

Team 60 has no secrets everything we do is free to everone. If you have questions just ask. Every year I go and check out the other teams to gain knowlage as well.

Looking forward to seeing everyone.

i say
 

i say take all the photos of our robot you want. just make us look good.:D

Personally when I was scouting around for my team at the Great Lakes regional everyone was more than happy to show off their bot for a good shot of it...In fact a few people were suggesting good angels for my pictures (the Wildstang being one of them - thanks guys).

Then when people want to take pics of our bot I can't think of any better compliment for our team and our bot.

PS: If anyone is going to take any pics our our bot, go from the fron end, rotate the bot to the left or right about 25 degrees, and move the camera up about 45 degress. lol =)
