Re: 1918 Robot Action
 

Always one of my favorite teams to watch....you guys look like you will have another great year!

Re: 1918 Robot Action
 

Can't wait to see it in action at Traverse City

Re: 1918 Robot Action
 

Thats a pretty neat and slick design for an elevator, keep up the good work and good luck.

Re: 1918 Robot Action
 

Thanks, we're excited for this year! There are a lot of good bots this year, are you guys ready for a competitive season?

Re: 1918 Robot Action
 

We sure are! This year looks to be a really interesting. lots of good looking robots, and a game that is fun to watch and play!

Re: 1918 Robot Action
 

I wonder how many surprising human players will show up at Traverse City chucking tubes like a pro.

Re: 1918 Robot Action
 

I think that human players should practice as much as possible, because IF they choose to throw, they better be precise and powerful.

Re: 1918 Robot Action
 

That looks awesome! I love the design. Good luck this season! :)

Re: 1918 Robot Action
 

Looks like a great robot! Very smooth pick up and elevator.

I can't wait to see you guys at Traverse this year!

Re: 1918 Robot Action
 

Sneaky sneaky, you sped it up a bit.

Still a good robot though.

Re: 1918 Robot Action
 

Wow. Very nice job. You should feel proud of that manipulator.

Re: 1918 Robot Action
 

Wow....

Re: 1918 Robot Action
 

Nope, we did not speed up the video. Shane had it on stopwatch for 25 seconds, that was our goal.

Can't wait until competition!

Re: 1918 Robot Action
 

Throw in about ~10 seconds per tube for traversal and that's your worse-case scenario time-wise. Very impressive.

Re: 1918 Robot Action
 

Actually... we didn't. I was just looking at my stop watch

Re: 1918 Robot Action
 

I think people are talking about the actual video - it looks like it's being fast forwarded. I thought the same thing too.

But if that's raw footage (ie no effects applied) I'm really impressed. You guys are going to dominate TC.

Re: 1918 Robot Action
 

I promise you, this is raw footage. Shane looking up and down does give the illusion of speed. We were aiming at 25 seconds, as time went on we were cutting close, therefore the fast up-down motion. Try looking at other people in the backround, they are moving at normal speed.

Re: 1918 Robot Action
 

the fast camera movements in the beginning also make it look sped up.
I trust you when you say its not however, pay close attention to the speed of the tubes wobbling on the pole after they have been placed.

Thats one fast manipulator.

Re: 1918 Robot Action
 

Sorry about the false allegation, not very GP of me.

Awesome(r) robot!
