... That is ONE SWEET ROBOT!!!! :ahh:

as always team 229 came up with another BEAST...

Chassis reminds me of Wildstang's 2003 chassis. (it looks like it).

6 wheels drive with 4" wheels... hm.. inspired by team 254...

arm made out of pvc which works well ... inspired by team 71...

2 speed gearbox.. inspired by team 45...

::this is what happens when you have JVN as your mentor :p ::

looks like team 229 took few designs and put it together for their 2005 season. Great work done by team 229... cant wait to see that beast competiting... :)

beautiful 'bot...are going to be in Atlanta?
Question:
what's with the flash of the thunder-chicken logo about 3/4 of the way through?
is it some sort of subliminal message aimed at Paul Copioli?

I was wondering the same thing. Perhaps they are using a CCT?

well, i spotted a cylinder sticking out below a pair of CIMs during a freeze frame...
would i be correct in assuming that 229 is again running a 2-speed 2-motor shift on the fly drive train?

Adrienne and Co.,

*applause*

Great video. I've been saying this for years, but all FIRST is missing is a little a bit of Jay-Z. I mean, Who you know fresher than Hov', riddle me that?

If this robot really is an encore of 2004, we should all beware of 229. The drive train looks graceful, yet mean. I've come to expect that from John. The extra wide crossbar on the tetra lance will pay huge dividends.

I can't wait to see it this weekend.

P.S. You edited out the part where I run around without my shirt? If you had left that in, you would have had an Oscar. Tsk, Tsk. :)

Great video and a great robot for sure. Can't wait to see you guys at Nationals... hopefully your pit will be right next to ours again.

Yes, this is true.
We previously admitted using this design.

Ryan,
Unfortunately, we are not currently signed up for nationals.
We may have a few members there, who will be definitely cheering on the Red, White, and Cyber-Blue!

See you at Boilermaker,
John

Karthik-
I'm glad you approve of the music selection. It has been our "theme song" all season. John just kept repeating it during most of our late night work sessions :) We are looking forward to this weekend as well! I can't imagine anything better then competing/working with my old team (and my sister) in my home town!

Awesome Robot, Great song. You have created a monster. One of the big things i think in this years game is reliability. Yall are solid. thanks for throwing that great clip in the video, definitely my finest moment as a driver. Looking forward to seeing you guys at nats again.
