Nice penfield! Is that the claw you made out of the ladder or is it something else?

Re: Team 1511 - The benefits of design pay off!
 

Lol that was our prototype. But yes it's true it started out as a ladder! Now it's all shiny and machined!

O ya that was the one I saw in your shop (Brenton pointed it out to me).

Thanks for the machining help.. See you at FLR!

That robot sure is thunderous :cool:! Are those bumpers in the videos the ones made from you old team pants? Ours are going to pleather...

See you in Philly!

Is that "Rolling Thunderous?!"

Yep, our old team pants have been converted into the material for our bumpers! They look really cool up close because you can see all of the seams where they were pieced together. :D

Shelley (aka - Team Mom Extraordinaire) is the seamstress and she is being secretly creative with using other parts of the pants. She keeps talking about a surprise for our pit setup, and all we know is that the flap pockets are missing from all the pants. :confused:
