Great bot! do you guys only have one driver?

Re: pic: 179 Swampthing 2011
Nice bot, as always, but can you floor load, or are you planning on traversing the whole time? Although from what I've seen your traversing is probably faster than most floor loaders.

As always another efficient, elegant design from The Swampthing crew can't wait to see it in action at Florida in person. Alex 744 be careful about your floor loader comments is all I am going to say =).

Thanks!
Yep, Evan is our senior driver from last year. He's awesome. We set the controls up to try and make it easy for him. He's put in double the practice time than any of our former drivers. As far as the floor loading, I think if we had to play defense, the main thing we would do is chase/block any tube the floor loaders are after. We did quite well at that in 2007. We shut teams down consistently doing that. However trying to block a bot with a good drive train from traversing the field is near impossible. You can slow them down a bit but not stop them, especially with multiple access points. Plus I was worried about getting the floor loader broken in rough defense. There will be solid great floor loaders, but there will also likely be a defender every match looking for them. And playing keep away with the tubes will be the most effective defense. |

I love your robot so much. So simple.
Why are you taking CIMs out of the drivetrain for the arm when you could use the FP + AM Planetary for your arm? |
Re: pic: 179 Swampthing 2011
Did they change the rules to allow 5 CIMs???
