Who needs an arm? Thats crazy awesome. I'd love to see the "guts" of this thing. Nice ramp design :-P

The ramps are Nidacore Honeycomb Composite panels. The ramp is stowed on the robot in an "unfolding box" configuration, which allows alliance partners easier access onto the ramps from the field.

>>The reason for our robot's name- "Itchy Bot Crane," can be blamed on this fiberglass beast. Many of the mentors and students were 'itchin for days. I'm sure it will be worth it when it come's to S.P.A.M.'s strong endgame.

Whoa.. That ramp looks pretty insane.

That is the best ramp I have seen all year, But can you expect anything less from spam. The paint is cool, but is lacking a Giant S.

I have seen your robot. It is awesome. I look forward to seeing you at UCF. That arm and drivetrain is ingenious.:D Congratulations on a great design! Sorry to hear about you website delemma. If you want to post pics on marsbot.org, I'm sure Alex and Tim may be willing to accomodate you in all of their gracious professionalism.:cool:

The "bot" on the right is using an illegal battery. ;)

And I'm not quite sure human muscle passes the flowchart, either. ;)

It's killing me that I won't be able to cross paths with SPAM before Atlanta this year.

That's not paint. The natural color of the composite fierglass material is yellow.

Re: pic: ItchyBotCrane S.P.A.M.'s 2007 Bot, Winning Alliance
 

Hooray, they managed to get it to deploy!

Re: pic: ItchyBotCrane S.P.A.M.'s 2007 Bot, Winning Alliance
 

...and it works flawlessly. Can't wait to see it in action on the field. Itchybotcrane is quite beautiful. :)

This is the itchiest robot we have ever had... and I think the ramp was what took the longest to make... on ship night we were routing out circles on it to make weight!
