Great observation!! The MOE build team went "green" this year and recycled some old bicycle wheels. :D

Perrotto left his garage door open, didn't he? :)

Thanks, Rich. Looking forward to seeing Dawgma and Alice in DC next week!

Re: pic: MOE 365 Presents

Looks great as usual.

How does a Philly repeat sound?

Re: pic: MOE 365 Presents

As, always you guys, and gals, did an amazing job. I wish I could have been more active with this years team and great looking bot. Best of luck in DC and I can't wait to see you guys in action in Philly!

After seeing the Daisy machine, I would love to give it a go! See you guys and gals at the Liacouras Center.

Re: pic: MOE 365 Presents

is that shade of green legal? Oh and I love the bow tie.

Re: pic: MOE 365 Presents

Is the empty cell that's hanging off the side there strategically placed for a mechanism? Or am I just reading too much into a picture that has the cell there for the purposes of making the picture look more interesting? Heh.

Looks good!

There's a window motor and gearbox behind it, the ball is apparently triggering a limit switch... Looks like a dedicated Empty Cell collector to me.

Hopefully, if not I believe we have a black backup as part of our aforementioned contingency plan. One of our mentor has worn that green bow in her hair at competitions the last few years. We sort of based the rest of the tux decorations on that bow.

There are dedicated Empty Cell collectors using window motors (Denso left and right) on both sides of the robot. They use a limit switch for cell detection and 10 turn pot geared with modded gears from the FP gearbox to set to 3 different positions (collect, hold, deposit).

Wonder if the contingency plan would be removing the bow...

Sorry, but THIS is Rosie!!

Thanks Kirsten. Good luck in San Diego! See you guys in a few weeks.

Re: pic: MOE 365 Presents

WOW i like the bow tie ..lol

Re: pic: MOE 365 Presents

Hey there Brian

I'm interested in more explanation about your empty cell set-up. Ho did you mod the gears? Do you have some kind of hook attached to the gearbox onto which the ball is placed, or what? I'd love to get a better idea of what's going on there!
