Who's robot is this?
 

Does anyone claim this to be their robot? Or does anyone know what team it belongs to? I'd like to use this picture in a whitepaper if the owner is willing to give me permission to do so. Thanks.

Re: Who's robot is this?
 

yeah it looks like 1501, distinctive because of the rivets in the chassis

another angle:

Re: Who's robot is this?
 

Yep - judging from this picture I found on their site, it seems to be the same robot.

EDIT: whoops, y'all beat me to it. :eek:

Re: Who's robot is this?
 

yes that is 1501's robot!!! :D :D :D

Re: Who's robot is this?
 

wow...its beautiful!

Re: Who's robot is this?
 

That thing was amazing to watch in a match, it was very well thought out before they built it.

Re: Who's robot is this?
 

Yes, that is Team 1501's robot. I'll pass the information on and get you your permission. Shouldn't be a problem.
Fun facts:
1) The robot was 10 pounds under weight. A first for us.
2) There were 1749.5 rivets.
3) The total weight of the arm, less air cylinder, was 23 pounds :ahh:

whoa... neat. but um... how do you get half a rivet?

Re: Who's robot is this?
 

When we were building the arm we had to drill holes to mount the HPDE slides. It just happened we had a bolt hole coincident with a rivet hole. The .125" rivet was too long to fit because it would hit the bolt. We separated the rivet from the brad, cut it in half, and reinserted the brad. We than put it in the rivet gun and drew it up tight. Thus we have a half rivet in our robot :)
Good catch.

What is your white paper about?

Sure no problems, you can use the picture. There might be better higher quailty ones on our websites. If you find them go ahead.

Here is a nice video from Boilermaker :-)

I haven't gotten around to putting the final touches and uploading it. The paper is a generic example of a simple/basic static equilibrium analysis on a typical FIRST robot (at least from that game).

Re: Who's robot is this?
 

Now how many rivets do you think we will ahve this year :-D......

Re: Who's robot is this?
 

The only person who knows this answer is me and I'm not telling NE1 :p
We will once again be giving away an LED badge for the person who can guess the closest number of rivets.
THE ANSWER WILL NOT BE 1501!.
Last year we had 7 people guess 1501. We had only one person guess some other number and he got the first badge. We had to throw the other 7 in a hat and pick out the other 4 winners.

Re: Who's robot is this?
 

1,234.5 rivets

Re: Who's robot is this?
 

Unfortunately, no :(
Every time someone took a picture, our robot would reflect back the flash and white out the pic :D
