No swerve?! :ahh:

That's some crazy suspension though. Nice!

EDIT: LOL at the ending.

Re: The Robonauts '10 - Video
 

love the new bot especially the roller. the song choice is perfect. i couldn't understand what was going on with your drive-train in regard to the pneumatics, could you explain it?

Re: The Robonauts '10 - Video
 

...some words that come to mind: wow, epic, fast, crazy-awesome!?!

Re: The Robonauts '10 - Video
 

Cool stuff, as usual! Solid kicker, and a nice ball controlling device. I'd love to hear more about the suspension you're using on your drivetrain.

I'm also wondering how easy it will be for you to go under the tunnel with bumpers attached, but I doubt that's much of an issue seeing how well you can go over the bump.

Any plans for endgame lifting?

Re: The Robonauts '10 - Video
 

The last 5 seconds of the video is by far the best thing I've seen on CD in years. You just had the entire 1114 shop erupt in cheers. An impressive feat at 2:24 AM.

Re: The Robonauts '10 - Video
 

Wow, solid 'bot. Love the pneumatic wheels, though I miss the swerve.

It's like you can't flip your bot if you tried, the bump's nothing at all.

Re: The Robonauts '10 - Video
 

Have to second that here. I had to watch the last couple of seconds several times. Love the kids/drivers running away at the end.

Re: The Robonauts '10 - Video
 

That looks amazing! I'm excited to see it at Lone Star up close!
Is there anymore that is going to added for lifting or are you guys not going for it?

Re: The Robonauts '10 - Video
 

1:00.

Moments like this makes me wonder what happens when there is a defender on the other side of the bump aiming directly at the belly of the robot. :D

Lots and lots of 6/8 wheels drive this year, this is definitely one of the best one I've seen so far. Nicely done.

Very nice shot from mid field by the way. That's exactly what I want to see us do in the next few days.

Re: The Robonauts '10 - Video
 

Ah its that magical time of year when the Robonauts post their video and make everyone else feel like slackers and way behind :-p.

Hilarious video, neat looking robot, and an awesome suspension.

Great job guys, keep up the good work.

Re: The Robonauts '10 - Video
 

looks great guys! can't wait to see yall again in florida! :D

Re: The Robonauts '10 - Video
 

Wow. The Robonauts 2007 video is maybe my favorite robotics video of all time, and the 2008 and 2009 videos are outstanding as well.

I have to say the 2010 lives up to its reputation.

For those of you who have been missing out, here are the 2007-2009 videos:

Team 118, I have to talk to your video crew some time.

Re: The Robonauts '10 - Video
 

i was just wondering what material you used to cover the roller and also what motor you were using to power the roller

Re: The Robonauts '10 - Video
 

That's a really cool robot you have there. And, I also agree that the last five seconds of the video were extremely epic!

Re: The Robonauts '10 - Video
 

Last 5 seconds... Best thing ever?

Re: The Robonauts '10 - Video
 

The ending makes up for your lack of a V6 this year. :p

Re: The Robonauts '10 - Video
 

Oh yeah!:yikes:

Re: The Robonauts '10 - Video
 

That is an amazing video, as always im flabbergasted at how well your robots are built. great job.

Re: The Robonauts '10 - Video
 

are each of the wheels on their own suspension?

Re: The Robonauts '10 - Video
 

Looking really good! And that ending was amazing...especially when the kids went running away!:D

Re: The Robonauts '10 - Video
 

that is an amazing robot great look & functionality and high five at getting it done early! :ahh:

Re: The Robonauts '10 - Video
 

Epic :cool:

Re: The Robonauts '10 - Video
 

Greatest robot video. Ever.

Re: The Robonauts '10 - Video
 

So I have to ask if the flying robot was done intentionally?

no matter what, it's awesome good work

Re: The Robonauts '10 - Video
 

This robot looks like it will do pretty good at competition.

Re: The Robonauts '10 - Video
 

Are those air-filled tires, if so, i was under the impression that air-filled tires were not allowed in competition due to the fact that all air must be produced by a compressor and stored in no more than 4 storage tanks. Compressed air shall not come from any other source. Rule R75 i think. I could easily be wrong. I was just curious

Re: The Robonauts '10 - Video
 

A Team Update was released allowing them a few weeks ago.

Pausing the video leads me to believe the drivetrain still has 6 motors in it.

Re: The Robonauts '10 - Video
 

Pneumatic wheels are exempt from the pneumatics rules.
Pneumatic wheels were once included in the Kit of Parts, if I remember correctly.

EDIT: Chris beat me to it.

Re: The Robonauts '10 - Video
 

Ahh thanks for clearing that up.

Re: The Robonauts '10 - Video
 

Stogi, Based on what we saw last year with 118, (Mid-Season Video Showed Long Based Robot, but then Final Robot Was Wide-Based Revision Of the First), I think it's entirely possible that we may see a V6 on the Competition Machine...

I for one, was really hoping 118 would build a 6WD swerve... But this is an acceptable substitute.

Re: The Robonauts '10 - Video
 

True that!

Great video, even more awesome robot, ridiculously-epic ending! Keep up the good work for the remainder of the build season. :)

Re: The Robonauts '10 - Video
 

Seconds 15-18... There is another 6 drive systems... wow!

Re: The Robonauts '10 - Video
 

Robonauts, Wow.....I love it!!!!!! On this side of the divide (Canada) your twin awaits you........ Team 2185 has something similar....Good Luck!

Re: The Robonauts '10 - Video
 

Co-driver: "ok, a little back..a little back.......AHHHHHH killer robot! Run away Run away!"

Re: The Robonauts '10 - Video
 

i love the suspension design... looks like one sturdy robot... and i love the dukes of hazzard theme song and the launching robot at the end

Re: The Robonauts '10 - Video
 

Watching it bounce around on the bump at about 0:22 reminds me alot of the Robotics Institute "Crusher" robot

Re: The Robonauts '10 - Video
 

What brand of wheels are you using? link?
