I want to point out a few things I love about this model:

1. It's almost to scale. The Toughbox is just a little small, I think.
2. A lot of time was put into it just to demonstrate how the electronics were laid out. This was made after the first meeting - only a day in between. This student is dedicated.

I've never been so proud of a student.

Plug 'n' play, eh?

Using FIRST Lego League parts to model a FIRST FRC robot...nice! Someone was paying attention during kickoff :)

Haha, that is the best thing I have ever seen! So detailed, congratulations to that student! :)

The little kid in me envies the ability to make such a close to scale model of an frc robot with lego parts...

This almost makes me wanna make a lego model of my teams robots since 1992! (This year will be the 20th!), but I think that project would have to wait for the offseason when I'm not so ecstatic about building a robot to play logomotion.

Btw, planning on following the 2791 build season on the blog. Unfortunately, we won't see each other at competition at WPI as we will not be attending this year. But if my sources are correct, I've heard that you guys will be going to the Championship!

Now slap a NXT on it to make it into the mini bot! Looks really neat.

I want to give this student a cookie in Atl- I mean St. Louis.

That is so cool. I want it. Fantastic job!

Now, if you were to make a full-size FRC robot out of LEGOs...

Looks like you took the whole "integrated programs" thing to a new level!

Either that's a completely wireless system, or the best *darn* wiring job known to man!

Love this sooooo much!!!! The cRIO is my favorite by far. Nice job =]

Two questions, I see gears on the arm, can you actually "drive it". I think it's beautiful, any chance we could see the whole thing from a nice isometric perspective?

Re: pic: 2791 Electronics
 

The arm concept was just a mockup of a telescoping arm that we're not going to use - it did drive the lower joint of the arm. You can find a picture of it on our team's build blog.
