148 had a better vid :rolleyes:

I'll be the first to ask: Whats with the random dentist scene? In addition to building robots do you also remove wisdom teeth? :confused:

So that's how the ball sucker works... looks deceptively simple for bugging you folks for nearly all of build! :eek:

Two thumbs up!

Looks can be deceiving. Just because the solution may seem simple does not mean the path that led us there was an easy one.

Our students participate in an event called "Give Kids a Smile" The team assists dental professionals who donate their services to help kids to not be afraid of the dentist.

Your video is 2:20 long... for better quality I would cut back 3 seconds.

Since I spend most of my team on chief at our shop with filtered internet, I appreciate raw video!

Looks good, these twins are beasts.

Looking amazing, guys. I definitely see this robot being just as successful as your past creations. Unfortunately with MSC being the same weekend as GTR, I'm not going to get to see it in person until Atlanta.

P.S. The 148 video was pretty cool, but you totally win in the soundtrack department.

Awesome, of course!

Some questions that came to mind while watching your video:

How are your motors allocated? It looks like 3 CIMs and 2 FPs for drive, 1 CIM for kicker, most likely CIM for arm... is the ball magnet run with a window motor? I never would have thought to see FP motors in the drivetrain after your drive sizing thread.

Also, how did you get the magnet to work with the varying height of the chassis (when switching from agile to tractiony drive)? Seems like it would be a pesky problem to work around.

As with 148's bot, I really wish I could see this thing in person!

I'm guessing rs555 for the ball rollers.

Completely agree. 148's song was nothing I'd ever listen to. This is much more... not screaming.

As for the robots... I called it in week 4. :D :D Looks like the Chickens will be 5 for 6 on Einstein.

Best of luck 217!
