Mine's ready.

Can't wait to see it in action.

Midwest is going to be crazy good this year.

I had the privilege of seeing some of the development of the 1114 robot during the build season. From where it was in week 2-3 to ship is an astounding development that surely was a ton of work to get things to where they are. Congrats to 1114 for their perseverance and to 148/IFI for their support. Can't wait to see you guys in person in Atlanta!

Karthik, remember how my response to you showing me the robot was "I'll have to think about this one"

I thought of it. ;)

Hey, Karthik, I'm disappointed, where's the SimSwerve? Now how do you expect to get <G14> penalties on Einstein?! :)

Re: pic/vid: Team 1114 - Simbot Panthro
 

Karthik, that alignment of the balls is pretty crazy. How did you get it working that well?

Re: pic/vid: Team 1114 - Simbot Panthro
 

How do you build robots that look so intimidating? (And I'm talking about before I see them in action... we all know that any 1114 robot is scary on the field.) Also, any story/reasons for the name "Simbot Panthro"?

ThumderCats? We have to do ETR... then whatever season we are. For example ETR6 for this season.

Re: pic/vid: Team 1114 - Simbot Panthro
 

Most of the story can be deduced by watching the episodes of Degrassi that we were on.

The name was chosen in homage to the show for providing us such a unique opportunity.

Re: pic/vid: Team 1114 - Simbot Panthro
 

Everything they learned, they learned from Clare from "Degrassi"....

I'm sure a serious answer is forthcoming.


I think she also named the robot....or one of her cohorts did. On this one, I'm actually serious. :cool:

So we have "Devastator" and "Panthro". Could someone please name their robot "Skeletor" so the 80's retro bliss continues? ;)

Re: pic/vid: Team 1114 - Simbot Panthro
 

Only if it means that we'll manage to qualify for nationals and then partner up with both "Devastator" and "Panthro". Actually I think my team could be convinced even if only got to partner with one of them ;)

This is another impressive Simbot. I agree with John that there are probably a lot of FIRST teams that thought that this is what they were building.

Re: pic/vid: Team 1114 - Simbot Panthro
 

Don't worry, instead of insisting on renaming 1712's bot to "Alice Cooper" instead of "Alice," I'm going to take a sharpie to her and write "Cobra Commander."

Re: pic/vid: Team 1114 - Simbot Panthro
 

Simbot Panthro - "a black robot who kicks butt and shows no mercy..." ? :)

Re: pic/vid: Team 1114 - Simbot Panthro
 

The arena setup in those pictures are so much better then the FIRST set up last year!

Re: pic/vid: Team 1114 - Simbot Panthro
 

Nice bot, wish ours looked cool like that 1 lol

Re: pic/vid: Team 1114 - Simbot Panthro
 

I think about 90% of FIRSTers would say that.
