2009 ThunderChicken Robot
 
1 Attachment(s)
Here it is. We have been working extremely hard on this year's robot. Here are the specifications:

Drive - 2 CIM motors 4 wheel tank steer.

Intake - CIM powered floor load and human player bin.

Dumping - Powered by a 1 1/2" bore 6" long pneumatic cylinder.

We can dump 20 balls in 2.4 seconds.

This is not the normal ThunderChicken robot, but this is not a normal FIRST game.

We will see you at the competitions this year!

Paul

Wow guys, it looks awesome as usual. 20 balls in 2.4 seconds is very impressive. Great luck in your district events, we hope to see you at Championship!! :)

I did think there would be more rivets..... ;)

Hmm, it apears this picture shows the details that 254's teaser left out! I imagine that it also looks great in 148 and 1114 trim.

I think this is a fake. There's not nearly enough rivets for this to be a 217 bot...

Paul, are you sure you aren't just yanking everyone's chains? :D

Yeah... I'm seriously doubting the legality of them there bumpers... They don't appear to be fully supported along the length of the frame!

:p

I'm kinda doubting that that is actually there robot, completely different from there base cad posted earlier (you dont make cad drawings that spiffy and not use them). and it just doesnt seem 217 style.

call me suspicious

I think this 2 CIMs for drive and one for intake is just another red herring. ;)

And, camera? I think we caught ya Paul. :D

Please don't let the other post lead you astray. We never received our sheet metal so we had to go to plan B. We had to scale down some of our original plans, but this robot can deliver a really fast punch with the 20 ball dump and wicked traction control.

We decided that the camera will not matter much this year.
