Looks like a west coast 8 wheel drive single speed single jointed pincher from 610 this year, unless that's an old arm.

Simple wins championships. Looking good, 610.

Looks really good Shaun! I see you guys are making good use of the new CNC Router. I didn't think I'd see a day when 610 used cantilevered wheels... a lot has changed for the better since I was there. Looks like a 8 wheel drive to me, is that a custom gear box or just custom plates? shifting or no?

I hope you guys got a chance to look back on 610's '07 bot's manipulator (even though its here in Kingston with me :p).

I'm personally excited to get a chance to play with you guys at GTR West this year, I know my team is too.

Battery in back, ultrasonic sensor in front... Mike and I are putting money on elevator/forklift.

Ohh and Mike says ribbon cable instead of those huge 30+ pin connectors is a good investment.

Clean and organized. I like. Looks like it'd be easy to access during competition too. Hope it goes well.

I'll second the call for ribbon cable! We made our own custom-length 37-pin cable this year for our robot, and it's amazing how much nicer everything looks, and what a difference a low-profile header makes!

Are those two bots in your picture? One for practice?

*side note: by the title of recent blog entries the alumni are still as stubborn as ever. "bam not cantilevered":D

In answer to a few questions: Yes, it's an 8WD cantilevered design. We actually did cantilevered wheels last year as well... The gearboxes are re-packaged supershifters. No, we aren't building a forklift. And yes, we have installed the ribbon cable. Looks much nicer now.
