Don't worry, it'll be there :)

We usually put the tie-dye on on Thursday at our first competition, so that it can accomodate any last-minute changes we make.

Add one more excitement point to the list of reasons why Boilermaker Regional is going to be one to look forward to, seeing this puppy in action.

Great work guys, anything new and exciting to look forward to in the electronics/programming areas?

Am I the only one who sees multiple Tetra grippers on that bad dad?

I am thinking that they can hold at least 2 and I would not be surprised to discover that Wildstang V10.0 actually holds and or stores 4, 5, 6 maybe even 10 Tetras.

Really.

I can see that crab drive of theirs going from loading station to loading station, piling up the tetras on their machine only to drive over and make like The Bumble with that stack of tetras, only it won't be Stars on Christmas Trees they'll be scoring but points on the board ;-)

Just some guesses into the mind of WildStang...

I'm not sure if this idea has already been considered, but could the main use of such a long arm be to reach multiple goals from one position and not just for high stacking? The sense I am getting fromn these forums is that a long arm and high stacking is not practical or highly possible, so instead of using the arm for vertical purposes, could 111 use it for horizontal, aka multiple goal use?

Just my 2 cents...

How does the robot not fall over, and how far outside the 38" x 28" rectangle does it reach?

Re: pic: Wildstang 2005
 

Stunning picture.

Re: pic: Wildstang 2005
 

if the robot does ever fall over with an arm that tall there will be a lot of damage to that robot and any other that happens to be under it after it falls...

Re: pic: Wildstang 2005
 

Considering Wildstang has so much experience picking things up very very high, I can tell you I would be extremely surprised if this robot tips over once all year long.

Re: pic: Wildstang 2005
 

Hey Raul, if you get this I would love to see the calculations you did to come up with that height.

Excellent job to all of Wildstang. I miss working late nights there. Now I have to work late nights writing lab reports. Fun-fun. Good luck in competition.

Can't wait to see the drive system.

Re: pic: Wildstang 2005
 

WOW!!! How high does that arm extend?

Re: pic: Wildstang 2005
 

Wow, now that's impressive! :eek:
