How do you guys manage to build the most amazing robots year after year? Somehow you always manage to make my favorite robot. You're awesome.

I hope it performs as well as it looks! When will we get to see more pictures of it?

That is soooooo pretty... :ahh: Looks like it belongs in a Pixar movie, not on a FIRST field, although I'm sure it'll be a fierce competitor! How are you shooting them, and how long does it take to reload?

Very, very nice. I think it looks even nicer than the '06 1501 model (more reserved). I particularly like the pneumatic shooter, makes for a much smaller and cleaner package than a ton of wheels. So, what are the vital stats? Weight, ball capacity, range, firing rate, etc.

Not only is it one of the most beautiful FRC robots I've ever seen, but it makes the most wonderful "Ding!" sound each time it scores a moon rock.

It reminds me of a Dr. Who style "villainous" robot... I like it!

Best of luck,

Mike

That is one beautiful robot. (You guys and your rivets... seriously.:rolleyes:) I love the exit sign, by the way. Good luck this season! :D

Height: 59 7/8"
Length: 27 3/4"
Width: 37 7/8"
Weight: 116 lbs Nothing had to be removed to make weight :)
Ball Capacity: 7 ish
Range: 2-10 feet variable
Firing rate: Slow but being worked on.

Like Alan mentioned we have a very distinctive bell sound when we shoot. This is due to the resonate frequency of the large aluminum striker plate on the cyclinder.
We pick up the balls and transport them outside of the robot perimeter while the hooks stay within said perimeter.
Our progremmer was very good. We can lead the target and put the balls in the trailer.

Not a stupid question. The balls come up the spine and are transported over the top of the shooter where they drop down into the shooter bowl. An air cylinder/striker plate strikes the ball and sends it on it's way.
