Great job guys, always loved your bots simplicity and great control over the game piece in 04', 07', and this year you guys have mastered the roller claw system to control the game piece. Very very nice.

Here's our mockup, followed closely by our current machine:

The transformation between the two took ~2 weeks.

that last video is pretty funny :D and o so true

Re: Team 121 Teaser Video
 

What material did you use on the rollers to grip the ball?

Nice Claw :cool:

Re: Team 121 Teaser Video
 

That warmth you feel from the south is my glare of admiring envy. I will be quite interested in seeing this one.

SLLOOWWWWWWWWWWWW

:cool:

Re: Team 121 Teaser Video
 

Oh. Wow.

You guys did an absolutely awesome job.

Re: Team 121 Teaser Video
 

Good job I hope ours turns out like yours we only have our chassis done. :)

I feel like I attended team 121's design meetings after the kickoff. :rolleyes:

Re: Team 121 Teaser Video
 

mind if our team "borrows" some of your ideas. i promise to return them.lol
our bot sucks compared to this. Great Job

Re: Team 121 Teaser Video
 

Its a very Rhode Warrior Robot,

Looks great and they still have over two weeks left, how is that fair to the rest of us?

Apparently when you take a great New England Team, add motivation, a large ball, and a Midwestern refugee this is the result.

What out BAE regional,

Best of luck guys


PS: Guess i don't know what the secret weapon is, but i bet if it can be wedge shaped it is.

Re: Team 121 Teaser Video
 

Oh how we would love to do that. We had a great idea for one, the other day.... Darn 10 degrees from vertical rule....

Re: Team 121 Teaser Video
 

First off, finally a teaser on CD that actually piques my curiosity. It's a nice change from all the kit and COTS items people have been "teasing" us with.

I'm very impressed by this video. Getting a robot to this stage in only 3 weeks is a huge feat. With 3 weeks of practice and tweaking time, there's no doubt in my mind the Rhode Warriors are going to be a force again in 2008.

whats you ground clearance? looks extremely low i just wanna make sure you aware of the half inch bump in the the field.

sweet manipulator, should be pretty quick to grab that ball. As far as hurdling speed goes i think this'll be one of the fastest arm types second only to the shooters.

go shooters!
