Cool video, and awesome robot!

Re: vid: Baxter Bomb Squad Midwest 2008
 

you guys were amazing!! by far my favourite robot at the midwest!!

good luck at Atlanta, and hopefully we can see you there :D

Re: vid: Baxter Bomb Squad Midwest 2008
 

Pretty good for Week 1.

Got anything special in mind for the Bayou? Like knocking down two balls in hybrid mode?

Oh, just in case you think the West Coast robots are "cream-puffs", BeachBots got 57 hurdles and High Rollers 54 in San Diego (although they did play a couple of extra elimination round matches than Bomb Squad).

Re: vid: Baxter Bomb Squad Midwest 2008
 

Thats because they were competing against your robot Dad.:ahh:

Re: vid: Baxter Bomb Squad Midwest 2008
 

That announcer really really liked to say that whenver your robot was on the field...

Always was something like: "Team 16... using that floppy accumulator... accumulating that ball..."

Great video! Will we see you all at Atlanta?

Trying to see if I know how to give neg reps?:P

I hope we can compete on the same side of the field in Atlanta.

Re: vid: Baxter Bomb Squad Midwest 2008
 

Looking good bomb squad. If you are in Atlanta see you there. And did you guys not participate for a few years?

Re: vid: Baxter Bomb Squad Midwest 2008
 

Having seen them up close in Chicago, I can attest that the Baxter Bomb Squad are indeed the real deal. Their pickup is smooth and their launch is powerful. I expect them to be one of the top contenders at the Championship in April. This machine reminds me of the classic BBS robots from 1998-2000, when they consistently mastered every challenge put forward by FIRST.

I love "flop" bots It's a shame there aren't more but I really like How you were able to make your accumulator as wide as you did. Excellent work, and I hope to see you in atlanta

Re: vid: Baxter Bomb Squad Midwest 2008
 

can't wait for bayou! i'm so exited we get to play with ya'll:D

Re: vid: Baxter Bomb Squad Midwest 2008
 

They've competed every year, Baxter did not sponsor them for (I think) the past two years. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Re: vid: Baxter Bomb Squad Midwest 2008
 

We lost our Baxter sponsorship after the 2004 season. Since then we have been sponsored by our non-profit corporation, the Science and Technology Group. STG is still our partner, but this year we did receive substantial financial suppport from Baxter Healthcare and about half of our mentors are Baxter employees.

Re: vid: Baxter Bomb Squad Midwest 2008
 

Team 16 did not compete in 2001.

Re: vid: Baxter Bomb Squad Midwest 2008
 

And we missed them! As always, the Bomb Squad fielded a fast robot (2003 was killer machine) that is efficient at game play and a unique design. And as always we learned something from them.

Re: vid: Baxter Bomb Squad Midwest 2008
 

Of course! See you one there!

Re: vid: Baxter Bomb Squad Midwest 2008
 

That sentence makes tons of sense....not. But anyways great video bomb squad, and a very great robot. Good luck on any upcoming regionals.
