Introducing 190's Gompei the Burninator
 

Team 190's 2005 robot was unveiled in the Worcester Telegram and Gazette today. For those of you outside the area, you can access the story at:

The T&G doesn't like to keep articles on their site very long, so I have mirrored the article on my web site if the above link doesn't work:

Re: Introducing 190's Gompei the Burninator
 

Sweet!! I love the mechanum wheels. I would really like to see some videos of this drive in action.

Re: Introducing 190's Gompei the Burninator
 

Nice job on the wheels.

Hope you don't actually plan on using them, isn't titanium against the rules?

Re: Introducing 190's Gompei the Burninator
 

No, it isn't. There is no exotic materials rule.

Oh :rolleyes:

Re: Introducing 190's Gompei the Burninator
 

Not anymore, they got rid of the exotic materials list last year or the year before, as long as you account for its cost (the wheels put a good dent into our budget) its allowed.

It is pretty amazing to watch it drive. Hopefully we can get some better pictures and video up eventually.
