I'm noticing gears sticking out above your chassis. I know in years past, the game objects have ended up in every possible place on a robot, and some impossible. Do you guys have any plans to cover the gears to stop tubes from being shredded?

Cough wanna be 254/968 bot cough.
:p

Just kidding guys. From what you have all told me it sounds great. I wanna see it with that beastly arm on it though.;)

30 thou lexan is good for that job..

Eh, I think you'll find we have some cool ideas of our own.

hmm 4 bar linkage upper arm, sweet. can't wait to see it all.

Re: pic: Team 125 Teaser #3 (not so blurry)
 

2 sets of bearings doesn't always mean 4 bar. One could be for a motor/transmission input. ;)

wow...looks really great...can't wait to see you guys in boston!

Re: pic: Team 125 Teaser #3 (not so blurry)
 

Very, very, pretty. You sure put effort in what you build. Can't wait to see it on the field!

Does that look a little scaled down or is that just the angle?

Your arm looks nice but the fortê that grabs me is the low wheel base. How do you plan to scale a ramp?

I'm pretty sure they have the corners of their drivebase angled up, to allow getting on the ramp with ease.

Looking closely at the photo, you can see "sleighs" at the front and rear edges of the robot. I'm not sure what they're technically called, but these little slanted cuts remind me of the front of a horse-driven sleigh. When you hit something horizontally with them, they transfer the force vertically, and let you go up it.

Last year 177 implemented something similar using a hacksaw. 125's solution looks more elegant.

It's not scaled down. The chairs behind it probably did that. Black also has the effect of looking a bit "small" from a distance. We can climb ramps up to 33 degrees, so the low wheel base is not particularly an issue.

Enjoy:)

wow. that drives very nicely. Was that you getting pushed around Henry? Great Job you guys, I hear you are going to the Suffield Scrimmage? see you in 6 days!

I'd recognize a certain person's laugh of excitement from anywhere. *Cough* Henry. Very attractive bot 125! The maneuverability of that machine is disgusting in a very good way! Great work and can't wait to see it in action with a beastly arm.;)
