Veteran Team Pics Missing?
 

Where are all the pics of those infamous veteran robots that everyone is salivating to see?

We've seen some......but where are my perennial favorites, Wildstang, HotBot, Beatty, Kingman, 118, Truck Town, Killerbees, Thunderchix, etc.

Getting anxious! :ahh:

Thunderchickens already released a picture.. It looked like a vertically mounted rotisserie. Look through the pic gallery for the CAD of it.

As for my team personally (even though we are not on your list :( ) I know that we are resting/putting media together for a release pic/video.

I would expect the same is true of the others.

I'm working, and waiting as to see everyone's pics/vids as well.

I saw the Thunderchix CAD...I even talked to Paul about the design, but I haven't seen the finished bot!

I figure most are doing something like this!

I just get anxious waiting to see the best-of-the-best!

Confidentiality is a big thing for us this year. We came up with some great stuff and we wouldn't want to see our ideas taken. I guess you'll just have to wait and see those teams robots at competitions or hope pictures from competitions with them in it will be posted. As for me I can't wait to 66, 67, 71, 111, 322, 469, 302, and 1126. This year should be an interesting year; I know it has been for us!

:(

Nothing worse than cool stuff that doesn't get seen. Besides, build season is over. If people are stealing ideas now, shame on them.

I know we're not one of the vet teams thats usually looked towards, but if you haven't given our bot a glance yet, check it out here:

Feedback appreciated :)

You most likely won't get much out of 71 except for maybe a commercial or a rap ;) . On the other hand, 45 should have something soon, very soon.

Re: Veteran Team Pics Missing?
 

Well sorry to burst the bubble, no pics from 1126 coming from me unless we are in the same matches and stuff.

Re: Veteran Team Pics Missing?
 

Well you never know, we may come around! There isn't much that I would consider a big secret but alot of it is really cool. My new favorite machne, FDM! w00t!

Re: Veteran Team Pics Missing?
 

While I as well like to look at the pictures posted on CD, there are several reasons I don't post pictures:

1. Even though teams are not allowed to make any changes after the ship date, there could be something seen to give them ideas and even if they follow the rules and don't build anything after the ship date, they can design and plan for the Thursday.

2. By seeing other robot designs, teams can plan before hand on how to defend or defeat it.

3. I personally like the surprise and excitement of uncrating a robot that nobody outside the team has seen at the first event.

So... You won't see 830 or 469 pictures from me...

Re: Veteran Team Pics Missing?
 

71 never shows their robot til the first regional they participate in.
No one is required to show their robot though I think it's silly to hide it.
It's not like they're not going to figure out how to deal with your robot on practice day.

Re: Veteran Team Pics Missing?
 

My sentiments exactly. To each his own.

We've put our pictures out uncensored. Please feel free to study them and develop strategies against the design! If anyone is interested for more detail please ask.

Re: Veteran Team Pics Missing?
 

Lol, the "big name" teams never release their robot until the big competition day. That would be like getting your birthday presents before your birthday. It's just not right.

What was with all the zip tie hanging down. :D

Re: Veteran Team Pics Missing?
