Here's 228's 1999 robot "Gus 1", from back in the days before we had engineers mentoring on our team, and a sponsor with CNC fabrication facilities:




We've come a long way since then; here's our 2007 robot, "Gus 9":

Is that a fiberglass frame? Love your control box btw:cool:

Re: Your first robot
 

Here's ours:

(Oooh look We're hurdling!)





It was called "Stealth." It won the 1995 championship (yet didn't compete in any regionals). It was largely built and designed by Carlo Bertocchini of battlebots "Biohazard" fame.

We consider this the "lost robot" of team 100. Since it vanished quickly after 1995. In fact, these three pictures are the only known photos of it, and they were discovered only recently by Adam Heard. :ahh:

Ironically Team 100 began a prolonged decline after its rookie year... Our robots got progressively worse until 2005. In 2006 there was somewhat of a student/mentor rebelion and the entire organization of the team was drastically changed leading to our return to success.

I like to think things have improved a bit since.

Re: Your first robot
 

Thanks. But no, it's not fiberglass; it was powder-coated 0.125" sheet metal fabricated on a CNC turret/punch machine.

Here's a photo of our non-powder-coated practice chassis from last year:
