Re: pic: Team 254 Teaser #3
Nice shirts.
|
Re: pic: Team 254 Teaser #3
What happened?!?!? That's the wrong shade of blue.
|
Re: pic: Team 254 Teaser #3
Seeing your robot with those wheels is, somehow, wrong.
|
Re: pic: Team 254 Teaser #3
Is it just me, or does it look like 254 made a dumper bot? And a wide bot, never thought I would see the day the Poofs made one of those... This is going to be an interesting year...

Re: pic: Team 254 Teaser #3

|
Re: pic: Team 254 Teaser #3
How scared should I be, exactly?

Re: pic: Team 254 Teaser #3
I guess it's time we put up team 179 teaser #4...
|
Re: pic: Team 254 Teaser #3
Oh my, Oh my my my.:eek:
Well, the Poof frame looks nice, and does appear to be a dumper...but not certain. |
Re: pic: Team 254 Teaser #3
It looks like you guys are gonna be able to hold a TON of balls....nice
|
Re: pic: Team 254 Teaser #3
nice
i like the field is there any reason behind the hanging of the robot lol?? |
Re: pic: Team 254 Teaser #3
I'm going to say that it might be a shooter. You can't see anything behind the shirt (or the student), but somehow, I think that's intentional.
|
Re: pic: Team 254 Teaser #3
I finally figured out what "simulation mode" means - it means your bot is currently simulating frame members that satisfy R08-M. Nyuk nyuk. :rolleyes:
It also seems that Ron Weasley in the ThunderChickens shirt is doing a spot-on impersonation of "the usual" Paul Copioli facial expression. |
Re: pic: Team 254 Teaser #3
Hey Cory,
Can you update the pic without the blue shirt? Thanks, Glenn At first glance, I thought I saw a tall shooter robot right above the person with the ThunderChicken's shirt on. |
Re: pic: Team 254 Teaser #3
Something just seems wrong in that pic, just wrong. I can't put my finder on it. Nice Job Poofs, see ya at nationals.

Re: pic: Team 254 Teaser #3
Hey Cory,
I lost count, how many sides does that piece you're holding have? JV |
Re: pic: Team 254 Teaser #3
I miss your custom wheels.... Make Hub Caps!!

Re: pic: Team 254 Teaser #3
When I first read the rules I was dissapointed to find out that we would no longer get to see the new things 254 did to their wheels. Looking forward to hearing about your robot from team members who show up at your scrimmage.
"Team 846 needs a pair of 54 wheels, preferrably in the chrome model...again that's 2 54 wheels for 846." |
Re: pic: Team 254 Teaser #3
I never thought I would see 254 with a "wide" robot
How about taking that t-shirt off the bot? :D See you guys in San Jose! -Keaton |

Re: pic: Team 254 Teaser #3
Hmm... I'm going to take a wild stab at guessing what's going on here. I see a touch of a mechanism at the top, and a massive hopper with collector at the bottom; however I don't see any belts in between them. (I guess one could be hidden by the guy at the front, but it'd be a pretty small conveyor) So here is my shot in the dark: the robot human and ground loads (based on the position of the t-shirt it looks like an open top) to fill up a huge hopper for a power dumper. The floor of the hopper is actuated upwards to bring the balls into contact a roller at the top that spits out balls until the hopper is empty. I'll guess capacity at 40-50 balls and dumping speed at 8balls/sec. Am I close?
|
Re: pic: Team 254 Teaser #3
Wait what.. you guys have a 217 shirt but I don't have a 254 shirt.. something is wrong here.
|
Re: pic: Team 254 Teaser #3
Judging by the two clamps, I'm willing to bet that the Poof scoring mechanism/internal belts aren't even mounted yet. A lifting hopper seems like too many moving parts, with too much possibility for failure. The poofs don't work that way.
My bet is that we'll see some internal belts and roller going up to a MASSIVE spitting device. I bet we're going to see a more refined version of the 2006 bot, that could unleash DOOM onto an open goal. |
Re: pic: Team 254 Teaser #3
I agree with craig and luke, it seems like they have a spitter of sorts at the top (covered by the shirts), and I don't think 254 would make a plate with a hole for mounting something, and NOT mount something. I'm guessing a belt in the shape of a 7 or something that takes the balls from the bottom and spits it out.
Looks very nice though. I love the colored trailer I spy, something two years old, and blue. |
Re: pic: Team 254 Teaser #3
Hey Guys,
.....nice robot.... ~Christine |

Re: pic: Team 254 Teaser #3
Ok, if no one got it yet, I doubt this is 254's robot. This would explain the change in color. What the Poof's have prepared this year is still a mystery...
And a nonagon would be pretty hard to make in compliance with this year's bumper rules, just saying :p |

I'm going to take a random stab, could this be....the Space Cookies(1868)'s robot? I don't know, an earlier post sort of raised that possibility in my mind. |

I am 99% sure this is the Space Cookies robot, I saw them a lot yesterday at 692's practice day and this picture looks exactly like their robot

The collaboration of these teams is a scary thought and as much as I would have liked to see it happen, I don't think it did happen. Mutual ideas here and there, but no real triplets/quadruplets. |

when we go to San Jose this year, I hope through the randomizer, we pair up with them and in the playoffs, get selected as the 24th and final playoff team as their 2nd partner! :eek: |
Re: pic: Team 254 Teaser #3
Some of you are right about the origin of this robot ;)
We had the pleasure of seeing 254's bot in action today. It is very scary. We got to go head to head with the Poofs for 1.5 min before we rammed, literally head to head, breaking both of our robots in the impact :D Nothing bad. We both got fixed. 254 '09 = Very impressive. :cool: |

Re: pic: Team 254 Teaser #3
We asked all of the teams who've attended our practice sessions to hold off on posting pictures, videos, and descriptions of our robot. Our team is definitely humbled by the buzz surrounding the unveiling of our robot , but we would like to keep the suspense up a little longer. We are really happy with how our design choices have worked out this season. We are working on optimizing our systems and once everything is at 100% we will post clips of the yet to be named 09 poof bot.
