Yes sir Brandon awesome stuff. Perfect song too. Good luck this year to the wranglers and 47 too.

Re: Team 148 - Robowranglers - Tumbleweed Video
 

looking really good guys... good luck this year

Re: Team 148 - Robowranglers - Tumbleweed Video
 

W.O.W!

Very NIIICE!

Re: Team 148 - Robowranglers - Tumbleweed Video
 

S-E-X-Y I would of loved to make a drive train like that this year.

Re: Team 148 - Robowranglers - Tumbleweed Video
 

Wow, I can't wait for St. Louis!


Great job guys.

Re: Team 148 - Robowranglers - Tumbleweed Video
 

you guys certainly built a fast little bot there, how many empty field laps can it do in 2:15 (including auto)?? i'll be really interested to see how many hurdlers it can outscore. Seeing that the top hurdlers will probably only average 4-5 hurdles per match (if that... with 6 robots and 4 track balls on the field), i'm really interested in how many laps tumbleweed will be able to do with all that traffic on the field.

Re: Team 148 - Robowranglers - Tumbleweed Video
 

Nice , good speed and handling, how many motors do you guys have on your drive? I see one globe and 4 cims i thought i saw two more.

Re: Team 148 - Robowranglers - Tumbleweed Video
 

Absolutely gorgeous.

Re: Team 148 - Robowranglers - Tumbleweed Video
 

Amazing simply amazing. You have officially erased any negative opinions I have ever had about a lap-runner bot. Lol Have you tipped it yet? It looks like you were close on some of those turns.

Re: Team 148 - Robowranglers - Tumbleweed Video
 

HELLOOooo from the NE:D
What a super job on the bot. Very good design looks like it is fast an moves well. How many laps can you get in the 2:15 time? Hope Team 148 has a super time with this one, should be a HOOT. See you in GA good luck!!!
Team 88 TJ2 and MOE :yikes:

Very complicated but really nice drivetrain 148
wat kind of wheels are u guys using?

Re: Team 148 - Robowranglers - Tumbleweed Video
 

That is one neat little robot there.
It's good to see the "Neun-a-gon" going strong!
Can't wait to see it in competition.

Re: Team 148 - Robowranglers - Tumbleweed Video
 

Those appear to be 4" Colson Wheels.

Re: Team 148 - Robowranglers - Tumbleweed Video
 

If it's a keyed and locked hub (looks that way to me), then it's most likely the NPC wheel - close cousin to the Colson.

Re: Team 148 - Robowranglers - Tumbleweed Video
 

Just throwing in my "WOW" :eek:. Brilliant!

Re: Team 148 - Robowranglers - Tumbleweed Video
 

Simply amazing.... :eek:

Re: Team 148 - Robowranglers - Tumbleweed Video
 

How fast can you complete a lap on an empty track?

Re: Team 148 - Robowranglers - Tumbleweed Video
 

Nothing I can say really shows how amazing I think that robot is. I'm going to watch its matches with interest.

Re: Team 148 - Robowranglers - Tumbleweed Video
 

Well, there's that i word by the e word you could use, followed by another i word:
Inspired by engineers and an innovative design.

Re: Team 148 - Robowranglers - Tumbleweed Video
 

Woah.

Nice robot! I like how it has to slow down on the turns, as its wheels are lifting off the ground.

(sidenote: good music choice. I love hearing the UFC theme song used anywhere possible.)

Re: Team 148 - Robowranglers - Tumbleweed Video
 

Was I the only one to see it get on two or possibly one wheel in the first turn that it showed? Wow, talk about mad crazy speed...

Re: Team 148 - Robowranglers - Tumbleweed Video
 

I bet its underweight. Some ballast might help stick it to the floor.

This thing is amazing. If 2008 winds up turning out like 2003 this thing will pwn.

I really feel for your operator... His job is gonna be really boring... :D

Re: Team 148 - Robowranglers - Tumbleweed Video
 

However, I (and probably most other drivers) am/are insanely jealous of your driver.

Re: Team 148 - Robowranglers - Tumbleweed Video
 

That's different all right – as in, phenomenal! I am glad that those swerve modules 968 posted pictures of went to good use, if not in a Poof drive train. One question, though – do I not understand swerve drive properly, or was the section of video where the robot is spinning very quickly from some other setup? I thought the idea of swerve was to turn the wheels instead of the robot.

Re: Team 148 - Robowranglers - Tumbleweed Video
 

Wow and another wow! Can't wait to see it in action at St. Louis.

Re: Team 148 - Robowranglers - Tumbleweed Video
 

If you guys don't win an award for that robot I will be very very unhappy.

Re: Team 148 - Robowranglers - Tumbleweed Video
 

I second that.

Re: Team 148 - Robowranglers - Tumbleweed Video
 

this is the third then because that looks like a blast :D

Re: Team 148 - Robowranglers - Tumbleweed Video
 

4th. Awesome robot.

Re: Team 148 - Robowranglers - Tumbleweed Video
 

Just to clarify, that wasn't Tumbleweed. :)

Re: Team 148 - Robowranglers - Tumbleweed Video
 

Whoo, we're hitting competition tomorrow, and I'd just like to thank you all for the comments. It looks like it'll be an interesting challenge on the field for all of us.

Re: Team 148 - Robowranglers - Tumbleweed Video
 

Awesome robot and congrats on St. Louis. Perfect song for the video as well. I vote we adopt Saliva's "Ladies and Gentlemen" as the new official FIRST competition song!

We can't wait to see you guys at Bayou!

Re: Team 148 - Robowranglers - Tumbleweed Video
 

Wow! Never in my life would I have thought to see such a complex robot stuffed into such a small package.

Re: Team 148 - Robowranglers - Tumbleweed Video
 

This robot has to be the Most consistent Lapper i have seen video of.
Congrats guys

Re: Team 148 - Robowranglers - Tumbleweed Video
 

Im amazed that as of now (3/28) you guys are STILL Undefeated this whole season! Your driver(s) are great at squeezing through several traffic jams. Keep up the great work!
