Awesome! Looks... familiar. :)

Have you done any analysis on the lightening pattern on the arm?

Re: pic: Team 399 Chassis and Arm
 

Looking good.

When do we get some video of this thing?

Re: pic: Team 399 Chassis and Arm
 

Yeah this is a design that our advisor and some students had worked out at least a year ago using a vice and inventor. I will see if I can get you the information.

Hope to have some video for you by this weekend. We had a dry run last Saturday and all seems to be working well.

I like the plate in the back to line up to the tower. It looks like it should let you have a really fast Minibot deployment.

I was wondering how teams were going to be able to pull off this design with the bumber rules. very cool way around the bumper.

I can't wait to see a video of this thing in action. Maybe you guys will have a full on video before 118 does. Is it possible that someone will? Has anyone ever done it?

Re: pic: Team 399 Chassis and Arm
 

I believe 121 beat 118 to the punch in 2008.

Well now we'll be working on posting a video as soon as possible :P The robot now has electronics and is moving. We are currently working on deployment of the minibot and programming tweaks.

looks familiar ...

Re: pic: Team 399 Chassis and Arm
 

I don't know if it was intentional or not but in your minibot video in the first half second of the video the bot isn't blurry.

Re: pic: Team 399 Chassis and Arm
 

Ha ha, yeah I noticed that too ;) We have no problem in showing off the minibot, just using it as a tease. I will be sure to have the unblurred video posted to our Facebook and web site by tonight.

Yes it does Joe.
Except how it grabs the tubes.....we got that covered.:)

Nice work Rene!

Re: pic: Team 399 Chassis and Arm
 

Thanks Glenn! As mentioned in the description, the gripper may change, we have a roller claw in the works that may change the end effector before ship date. I will release updated video/images once it has been completed.
