Looks like we'll have an exciting year at the Finger Lakes Regional from what I've seen at the Scrimmage hosted by 1511 Harris/Penfield HS last Monday! Can't wait to see all the other rookie teams in the area I've worked with.

Looks good. I watched your Penfield Scrimmage videos on your site and was impressed by the auto mode. It seems quite consistent. See you in 8 days.

That arm is a beast! How many motors are in it?

Re: pic: 191 X-CATS X-Whaaat!!!
very cool! haven't seen a design like that yet... The arm looks really stable. Good job. :]

Re: pic: 191 X-CATS X-Whaaat!!!
is there a bend in the arm or is that just the angle of the camera?

JKnox,
Yes the arm is a beast and a half... It's run with just one atwood and 1 van door motor with it's own braking system to give it some better control. Just think of a shimano or SRam mountain bike disc brake on steroids. :) This year's design was a paradign shift for our team since we've never had a functional robot built ever in the first 1.5 weeks and also have 2 robots completed in a season. With the fore mentioned budget cuts we were going for cheap, strong and easy to replace. Ellery |

Katy,
It's probably the typical flex from PVC... nothing to worry about..it provides a breakable linkage so that none of the expensive parts actually break. Ellery |

Thanks Kim,
We're always trying to impress when possible. Keep it simple but as any engineer knows Fit, Form & function first! We'll work on the photogenic side last... Yes it was alot of fun since we haven't had a scrimmage in a while here in Rochester. They were typically sponsored by Kodak in the past but this time we actually had a robot that had no issues at a scrimmage for the first time too. I'm hoping to get this team more streamlined and efficient. Let's all go grab some refreshments sometime Friday night at Buffalo Wild Wings and chill. I spoke to Johnny V and he's down with something. Ellery |

WOW, an amazing robot. Specially very unique. In my 3 years i have always noticed that the X-Cats come up with original and marvelous designs. I would love to see you guys at the nats. Props to you team! and best of luck :D

The Clarkson kids are coming to town, and we're ready to party. We've even got some friends coming in from out of town, who I hear know a thing or two about a fun time. Friday night sounds good, as long as I can get back to tuck my drivers in. ;) (No good-night kisses, that would be a mentor code violation.) Johnny V |
