Nice robot the only two things that I would worry about is the protection of your camera and the color of the writing on the lexan, from what ive heard you are not aloud to have anything on your robot that can mess with other teams cameras (green numbers). NICE BOT though

There is a little lexan 3 sided shield around the back of the camera...If we find we need more coverage we'll add it at comps...
About the team numbers, That was my thought as well. I think with the "varying light conditions" it won't be much of an issue. Believe me, we don't want to become a target of auto bots!
The rule is based more against anything done with the intent to interfere; we're not trying to here. Just ended up being the team numbers we had access to.
Thanks for the comments :D
Anyone else have any questions/comments? We could really use some feedback :o

Ahhhh, the zip tie curtain, brings back memories of last year...
Why the zip ties? no loading zones, don't think it would protect the bot from balls rolling under. Hmmmm could it be.... no it couldn't.... or maybe?....No no no.... hmmmm

Could it be to keep balls from rolling under the robot?

Yes the infamous zip tie skirt.
It's to help from balls rolling under, though it seems alot of the zip ties were pushed inward for this pic(they need to be out a bit to scoot along the balls)
it goes the perimeter of our chassis I believe...thoug the back looks a bit too bald (the shooter is actially the back of the bot, this is a back shot, though we actively switch which side is front/back in a match with our Reverse Drive switch).

Nice looking bot.
Nice shielding of your shooter.
I agree with MarsBOtkid, you may want to consider putting a shield OVER the camera. Allot of balls will be dropping from the sky :ahh: The servos won't take much punishment till the gears strip. Just my $0.02.

How well does the zip tie skirt work on carpet?

Works pretty well actually, just got to make sure the zip ties are facing the right direction. :D
