I remember that robot :)

What exactly are the sliders made out of?

Re: pic: 1072 almost done
 

Their re-using an old bot? Is that allowed?

Re: pic: 1072 almost done
 

Not this year. Old designs, yes; old robots, no.

Oops I should have changed my icon :mad:

I have been thinking about this since designing began...

thanks, Vivek

I believe those may be igus linear bearings (anodized aluminum) but I'm not quite sure since this was built the year before I came.

Re: pic: 1072 almost done
 

Really?
I never heard of them doing that before.

Re: pic: 1072 almost done
 

Yeah, they're Igus Drylin rails. The tetra grabbing mechanism is still intact but I photoshopped it out for the sake of this pic =P

This bot is from my freshman year...good times

I agree, As long as you take it apart and put it back together, your well within the rules :)

Re: pic: 1072 almost done
 

hey i remember that robot... from last year. At least it looks very much alike.

Re: pic: 1072 almost done
 

You may have to redesign the robot, but COTS are the only thing you can salvage (if they meet current rules). As most of the robot is a fabricated item or collection thereof...

Re: pic: 1072 almost done
 

Also a note to design... you may want to shift some more of he weight to the back to make sure it wont become to top heavy and fall over... especially if your going for the ball in autonomous period since the robots in autonomous mode can hit you and knock you over.:ahh:
