*jaw drops.

no ******* way. Now that is an engineering marvel.

Re: pic: Wildstang 2005
 

Very nice. Everyone please keep in mind that they are not the only one that can go that high. I have already seen teams that match that. ;). The real question is how long does it take you stack all of them, and what is the extent of robot controllability at this level of height. Still i give you props, just don't get over confident yet.

Re: pic: Wildstang 2005
 

Really. You might want to work on your time. I know that it is possible to double that.

Re: pic: Wildstang 2005
 

My guess is that it reaches...roughly 15 feet high, but, i doubt it is driveable at that hieght, one slight bump and it'll be blocking the whole field when it falls over. :ahh:

I'm so disappointed that you guys aren't coming to Sacramento...I wanna see this thing live!

Re: pic: Wildstang 2005
 

WOW!!! That is really impressive. Awesome work from what I seen already.

Re: pic: Wildstang 2005
 

I wouldn't be surprised if they're going that high that they will bring back the wedges from 2003....

Re: pic: Wildstang 2005
 

Why go so high - we asked ourselves the same question - there is minimal advantage to going so high. Yes, we are foolish only because we have a reputation of making high lifts and we had to live up to our tradition. It just would not have been right for us to go only 10 feet high even if that is all anyone would need 95% of time.

It would not surprise me to see another team go higher. But we did not want to just be "average" height.

It is fairly stable at that height - we do have a "base expansion" mechanisum and alot of weight down low and at the opposite end. We did drive around slowly while up high but quick spins are out of the question.

By the way, it is a side goal - not the center goal.

How long? Well much longer than 2 minutes. Like I said, you have to manever slowly when at that height.

wow thats amasing.. you made soo many tetras! musta taken a while :-P


p.s. ( great achievement )

Re: pic: Wildstang 2005
 

Another amazing machine by Wildstang, you guys rock. Also, I can see an advantage of going that high, and if I'm thinking what Wildstang is about that height, WATCH OUT EVERYBODY

Re: pic: Wildstang 2005
 

Sigh... my, that is quite a stack. For some silly reason, Wildstang seems to do better in odd years. This is an odd year. I think that the rest of us are in for some trouble. We've got them at both regionals we are attending. We've got double trouble.

We can definitely not go that high. That is a crazy stack.

Way to go Wildstang!

(What you can't see, is that their 2005 robot is sitting on top of their 2001 robot, which is sitting on top of their 2003 robot... teamwork.)

Right? Riiiight?!?! ;)

Looks great guys!
Can't wait to see it in person!

Re: pic: Wildstang 2005
 

Hmmm, so why did they not post a picture of the entire robot which would have likely made the height even more impressive... What's moving that thing, Wildstang?

Re: pic: Wildstang 2005
 

Wow. Can't wait to see that thing in action. So where is the cool promo video put to rap music like last year?

Re: pic: Wildstang 2005
 

yet again wildstang has us at agh and we havent even seen their base! Good job guys, always pushing the bar higher for the rest of us
