"Rack Star"... looking for a stage to stand on.

Any specs?

Re: pic: The TechnoKats 2007 Robot(s)
 

RackStar Specs

4 CIM motor 2-Speed custom transmission
6 Wheel Drive
Brakes
Pneumatic end effector
11 design iterations on the gripper, highly tested
Needless to say, we packed it with plenty of fattening foods in the crate.

We can't see the gripper :(

Indeed, it acts emo sometimes.

Why are there 4 airtanks on each robot?

Re: pic: The TechnoKats 2007 Robot(s)
 

4 airtanks are allowed by this year's rules, and I would guess that because they have the compressor and 4 tanks they plan on using lots of air. There are some pneumatic tubes running to the manipulator we can't see...

We don't use too much air, but when u have the room/weight to have all 4, we chose to mount all of them. Oh and by the way, kit wheels rock!

1501 has a "blue stage" and a "red stage" you pick. Double vision hurts my eyes! See you at BMR...

and.....

I hope our modems work....

Nice!!

I'll take the one on the left if you're not using it anymore ;)

Re: pic: The TechnoKats 2007 Robot(s)
 

Nice work TechnoKats! Those specs are eerily similar to ours!!! The look is even close...hmmm:rolleyes: ...Even the 11 design iterations on the gripper. And yes, the kit wheels rock!

Re: pic: The TechnoKats 2007 Robot(s)
 

If thats what the rock star looks like, than wow they must have quite the tour bus.

Great job 45, it'll be interesting to watch this one work.

Re: pic: The TechnoKats 2007 Robot(s)
 

No... this looks too simple to be a Technokat Robot! Surely, there are some very nifty tricks to this robot that you haven't told us about.

A custom 2-speed gearbox? What could be better than the AM's? :) Although, I think I spy TWO small pneumatics on your shifting drive gearbox. Could you give us a little insight into the reason for the 2nd? (Possibly a brake?) And, a little insight into this specific gearbox?

As always, a quality robot from 45. Can't wait to see some video, and that 11th iteration grabber.

Nice job guys. I see a pair of 06 and 07 radios hanging there. Maybe if we just mount both they won't say anything hmm? I guess that means the one on the right is the comp bot. Plus its all plumbed up
