I made an account just so I can say that that robot looks really really neat! :ahh:

Pretty cool design. Looks like you collect the balls, then raise the collection platform to dumping height?


Interesting drive system also, very professional looking robot.

141 always delivers a new slant on the game. This year you didn't disappoint - big gray box! Balls go in box, magic happens, balls go in trailer! Genius!

I love the mystery of the design. I suggest you perpetuate the myth that the internals of your robot are actually a well trained monkey. If it doesn't work at any time you can just blame it on not giving the monkey enough bananas.

Really though it looks like you guys will be able to hold your own. You were fantastic last year and I'm sure you'll do well again this year.

That is until the monkey rips someones face off between matches.

Wow another Wonderful Wobot hopefully we will get a chance to work with you at West Michigan!

Thanks

Can the balls be extracted safely from within the gray box when the robot is powered down at the end of a match?

Yes they can. the top is open. and we can also get the balls out from the intake roller.

Heres a Video of the robot with out a magic box.

How does it pick the balls up?

Re: WO-BOT 2009 141
 
(I have to do this) Wo I love your Bot! :]

The door on the side for the balls make your robot look really slick.

Great maneuverability it looks like too. I agree... the opaque sides add some mystery, but from what I can see functionally, whatever's inside there was thought out pretty well!

Have fun this season,

Very cool!
But... no red paint? No hat/decorations?

i would not be worried about seeing in the box as much as what is underneath the robot....... this part of the robot was not shown in the video......
we will see you guys in Wisconsin. that will be fun

We will add decals to the robot to make it look fancy.
we hope we can put on 15 pounds of decals.. lol

Re: WO-BOT 2009 141
 
85 B.O.B.

Just a simple roller with fingers to grad the ball. Its the same roller that will shoot the balls out. its all on one elevator. We should be able to hold 35-40 balls.

And for your pic question you will see it in a few days. ;)

Re: WO-BOT 2009 141
 
Your robot employs a really good strategy. Opponents will treat a robot holding 2 balls a lot differently than they will a robot holding 20 balls. Unless all your opponents keep a close eye on you the entire match they will be forced to assume you are a perpetual scoring threat. Very clever. I wonder if we will see more translucent machines turning opaque over the course of the season.

I was under the impression that referees had to see the game objects inside your robot as a means of determining whether you are violating <G24>.

I thought there was a specific rule which stated this, but I'm humiliated to say I can't find it right now.

Edit: After much searching I still can't find this. I bet I made it up.
Now 148 can go back to our original plan for Tornado... wood paneling!

Re: WO-BOT 2009 141
 
My thoughts exactly. WoBots just made the hard job of seeing two empty cells onboard even harder. But then, unless the pilots remember, they won't see the empty cells either ...

Maybe we do, maybe we don't. Isn't the dashboard a wonderful thing.......

What about
<R02> ROBOT parts shall not be made from hazardous materials, be unsafe, or cause an unsafe
condition. Items specifically PROHIBITED from use on the ROBOT include:
A. Shields, curtains, or any other devices or materials designed or used to obstruct or limit the
vision of any PILOTS and/or COMMANDERS and/or interfere with their ability to safely
control their ROBOT

Very cool bot

ok... the walls of the box are used to lift the elevator and contain the balls inside.
That rule is for a robot that would drive to the other side and cover an alliance satiation from seeing, was my idea.

I distinctly remember this rule for 2006, and I recall being confused when I couldn't find it in this year's manual. You would think with the empty-cells this year it would be more of an issue.


Great looking robot 141, it's one of the more aesthetically pleasing robots released so far. A mysterious white cube that magically opens to spit out orbit balls... like something you'd see in an old science fiction movie.

Looking good! I like the sliding door for the balls exit. I think it is funny. haha

We are the fridge bot now...i guess. We will add decals and stuff.
thanks for all the reply's. good luck and have fun cause this lunacy starts tomorrow!

Wobot is one of the robot teams I always watch. You guys always have innovative problem solving and this year is no different watching that video. Good luck in your regionals.
