2009 REAL ThunderChicken Robot
 
1 Attachment(s)
O.K., Here is the real 2009 ThunderChicken robot: Roxxy.

Turreted shooter with 20 ball capacity. No human load. Empties in anywhere between 3 and 5 seconds depending upon the condition of the balls.

Paul

P.S. - The one pictured before is rookie team 3069's robot.

Hehehe, can I have the other one Paul? Pretty pleeeease. Tell 3069 that they made a robot that will put up a strong fight as well (as long as there's ample supply of Magic and Win in their compressed Wintanks)

Roxxy looks like a friggin beast! Awesome job from the folks over on 217. Curious as to why human load was written off from the robot. What was the design process that went into this. Any design process info would be great please.

Very beautiful, but I am partial to blue :)

Looks like the "shooter/ dumper" contest is significantly ratcheted up...

Wow, cool looking robot once again. Just out of curiosity, what is the drivetrain on your robot, it is tucked in tight and i cant figure it out?

I just realized today is 2-17, great job on picking the best day to post your picture

So i wore my thunder chickens shirt today, wondering when the real robot would appear.

That is so more like it. 217, you nearly let me down. So what's with the color scheme? I miss the green... And would it be too much to ask for a video?

Human loading was written off for two reasons, #1 we didnt feel it was the best option because of the limited number of balls, with ground load we can use more than our 20 balls and can pick up any misses, #2 when you are human loading you are a sitting target and we have all seen what some of these power dumpers can do to a sitting chicken.

Well it looks like we have triplets now. I'm glad we all decided subconsciously to collaborate through esp :cool:

Anyways great looking bot! I think it will do awesome.

I know the reason we scrapped human loading is that it is pretty much impossible with a helix design as there really is no space plus at least for our bot it is faster just to suck the balls up. I'm sure the thunderchickens have a killer intake roller

You could always push rocks under the air lock with the claw to feed the roller.

I don't see anything in the rules against this.

How funny would it be if this was a decoy as well. :P

Very Funny, Nice job 217. looks like another winner. We are using our small hopper as a rebounder just like in the 2006. I am loving the Bot, are those blue rails anodized?
