Re: pic: preppin' for IRI
Here's a good idea, they can ship both of the robots in Indiana now, and I can play with both for a couple months...:p

Funny... there must be something in the air bringing out the more playful side of robots this time of year... our 2006 and 2008 robots got to shooting balls at and drag racing eachother yesterday... I have some crappy cell phone video of it if anyone is interested. :o -q |
Re: pic: preppin' for IRI
I would love to see this happen in RL... Lol what would happen if The Poofs' bot and Pink's Bot had a baby?? Andy did say to get a room... Epic combination of Pink, Telescoping arm, amazing gearboxes, launcher, and amazing looks ftw?

Re: pic: preppin' for IRI
Not to shift the conversation topic too much from the depicted robot makeout, but what impresses me the most is the differences between this pink gripper, and the initial version posted here: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/30977
As you can see the older version of this gripper looks to be considerably heavier than the final product. From my initial glances, it must have taken hours and hours of during the fix-it windows to get the new gripper done. Very few teams are willing to put in those extreme hours after ship, most are more likely to stick with what they have. I love it when teams aren't willing to settle for "good enough" and continue working to make sure they're "great". It's this level of dedication and desire that separates the great teams from the good, and keeps The Pink Team at the top of the FIRST world. |

Sean,
From my seat, the "connection" has been a mutual admiration of fine robots between EJ, Cory, and myself over the last several years. I think after finally getting up the nerve to introduce myself to these Poof super mentors and realizing just how nice they are its all been an easy "connection" between our teams. This was another great byproduct of IRI. I just met Steve in Atlanta this year and he is just now getting to know Pink. He is a really good guy and may be helping us out this year. Lets talk at IRI. mike d |
