in reference to that rule. the first lap they did would have gotten them only 2 points for crossing the line but none for the ball. The rest of the laps were hurdled so there would be 8 points awared for hurdling plus the 2 point crossing the line bonus

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say they were simply showing what their robot could do, with wasting as little time in our busy build season on a video as possible. Thanks 121. We appreciate the shortness of your video, so we all may get our robots done. lol

Re: Team 121 Teaser Video
 

yes... but if i watched the video right... they use the wedge to "help" the ball up into the manipulator... the wedge rule would completly change that design... wouldn't it? b/c last year... our robot was a lot higher that that and we were called a wedge bot... but trust me, the machine looks pretty:D

Re: Team 121 Teaser Video
 

Yep, we were just showing what we can do. I realize that we crossed the line while holding the ball, the first time. We weren't trying to score as if it were an actual match - just demonstrating our robot's capabilities.

Amazing design guys, motivated my team to get their butts off the computers and into the shop.

and I can't describe how happy I am to see that we don't have to lose miserably to you guys in any of our regionals. ;)

that claw is the bestway to do it. it looks like it is a rendition of 45s claw from 2004. i realy like it. 121 always puts up a solid bot. congrads.

... tons of great pics

Re: Team 121 Teaser Video
 

no such thing as stealing an idea when a team posts so much information up, they want you to see what they built and how the did it in order to teach other teams....gracious professionalism, its what US FIRST is all about

Re: Team 121 Teaser Video
 

Beautiful? Elegant? Not much else comes to mind to describe it. Bumpers, on the other hand, are problematic...

Re: Team 121 Teaser Video
 

We've actually got the bumpers on now - they required some creative thinking to develop the mounting solution, but they're taken care of now.

Re: Team 121 Teaser Video
 

121 always has a good robot. Congrats on "The snake" :P

Re: Team 121 Teaser Video
 

All i can say is oh my god!!!! congrats to team 121 and hopefully "the snake" will slither its way to a regional??

Re: Team 121 Teaser Video
 

Nice.

One question.

Flag mount? How are you dealing with that?

Re: Team 121 Teaser Video
 

Like we always do, it will be on one of the main towers. It will have to bend a little more this year though.
