I wondered at St Louis but I forgot to ask. Do you have a switch to go from red to blue or do you read from the color port on the rc.

Id assume a switch but you never know

A top speed of 22 fps?! That sounds really fast. How is that to handle? Nice job, guys. It looks great!

Looks more like a Mustang or Camero. Very cool.

Easily the coolest looking bot at St. Louis. The members of 1098 should be proud to know they had the most clever design i have ever seen. I can honestly say that i have never thought i would see anyone continue playing a match after one of their wheels fell off, but 1098 did it on practice day. Definitely one of my favorite robots in all of the time i have watched FIRST competitions.

It was fun to watch this speedy little robot in St. Louis.

1098 will be one of only three out-of-state teams at Oklahoma City, two weeks from now. I know you'll represent St. Louis well. Just keep the wheels on the track, and the pedal to the metal. :D

[Thanks for the ducks!]

the wheel didn't fall off due to loose bolts, or poor fabrication. it was slammed in the side by another bot, and since only washers hold the bearings on IFI wheels in, once there were bent it was free to fall off at the most convenient time.

thanks, check this site, all the St. Louis matches are there.


its hard to tell the speed in these videos seeing as i was trying to keep it under control, and avoid others, but it really can go much faster.

once we get the bot back, were going to make a team bot video, i'll post as soon as its done.

actually, theres two cables from the LED strips, and one open plug at the breaker, before the match we just swap to the color. we took the low tech route.

Re: pic: Ferrari Race Car
 

such a cool robot and pit too! i loved seeing it at STL. really great job by the driver.

Re: pic: Ferrari Race Car
 

That so reminds me of the original Cliffjumper from the Transformers cartoons (the REAL cartoon from the 80's). Neat-o.

I'm surprised they didn't make you cut out your hood for RC LED viewing and fast main breaker access, though.

what's the body shell made out of?

Re: pic: Ferrari Race Car
 

From watching the vids I have to say that was a commendable job by your driver. I was 1405's driver this year and we had steering with 14 fps and it was extremely difficult to control around the turns, especially in the blind spots.

I can't wait to play against/with your team at OKC!
Best of luck to you.
