Can someone say rocket ship?!

Re: pic: 675 Teaser
 

Rocket Ship.

Re: pic: 675 Teaser
 

ooh ooh it looks like the ground plane on the PD between the 12V and 24V power supplies!






Seriously, it looks just like it.

You actually made some sense out of it. Sadly no, but I promise that rocket ship is robot related

Re: pic: 675 Teaser
 

I think that the rocket sybolizes that an object (maybe a soccer ball) will shoot out of the robot.

Re: pic: 675 Teaser
 

I like where your going with this. but sadly no its more endgame oriented. not kicker.

Re: pic: 675 Teaser
 

It shoots a lead weight that wraps around the top crossbeam and then uses a crank to lift the bot off the ground.

Re: pic: 675 Teaser
 

Why didnt we think of that?! think Rack N' Roll. our '07 bot.

Re: pic: 675 Teaser
 

Now you got me stumped, hmmm, maybe you are going to use a guitar on your robot? or guitar strings? I joined FRC last year so I'm not all to famillar with previous games.

Re: pic: 675 Teaser
 

That would be clever but more for the Rockin' Bot's (Team 2035).

search it up on the web.

Re: pic: 675 Teaser
 

We had a similair idea to assist robots in getting up to the platform with a ramp like device, similair to 07, but decided it would leave us with no points ourselves in the endgame, and with the assumption with any robot worth going to the finals would have a decent endgame. If this is what your doing.

. . .You have left be mind-boggled. I have to think

Re: pic: 675 Teaser
 

but a ramp bot is a great cooperation bot, and it could make an alliance that doesn't have endgame bots but great offense/defense bots work.

Re: pic: 675 Teaser
 

Just to make sure, I'm assuming it has nothing to do about the two paragraphs that are on the centre of the rocket shaped board. It saysd something about antibiotcs. It was to messy to make out most of it.

Re: pic: 675 Teaser
 

What do you want with a rocket ship? What business do you have on mars...?

I'd kind of really like to know what the text says now...rockets are cool, but robot poetry is better.

Re: pic: 675 Teaser
 

Nice fold down ramp.

Re: pic: 675 Teaser
 

It looks to me like a polycarbonate box that will cover a winch mechanism.

Re: pic: 675 Teaser
 

Good to see at least one team has the guts to be a ramp this year. :)

Re: pic: 675 Teaser
 

Okay who put wings on the crayon??

Nahh, I'm not sure its a ramp... it doesn't look like its got the structural integrity for it... course it might not be done, so you might surprise me! Also, when you do out the geometry for the size restrictions, ramps are kinda hard to do practically. but again, I always love to be surprised with clever designs!

Re: pic: 675 Teaser
 

It is a ramp, just one of our early week 1 and 2 prototypes. The actual one will be much more structurally sound. hopefully still as cool of a rocketship
