If you've been following our blog, you've already seen these.
Here are videos we shot the day before ship - the first time we really got fully functional driver practice

We're one of the apparently very few teams who didn't go with a claw/arm this year.

See you at the Boilermaker Regional!

I love it. You guys perfectly played to your resources to make a simple, competitive robot. Great job!

Plus you're probably the only team to use a rotary pneumatic actuator. Just saying.

Re: 1529 CyberCards
 

The only pneumatics we've got are on our minibot deployment. All window motors, man.
4 CIMs - drive
4 Window Motors - 3 on floor loader, 1 for "peg"
1 Fisher Price - lift

The yellow cord is a hose taken off an air compressor; we're using it to contain the wires for the manipulator window motor.

Re: 1529 CyberCards
 

Oh, I was just confused by the pneumatic-looking tubing leading to the peg.

Still a good robot!

Looks great and runs great!

Here's our 2011 build season video. We're also using this as our video submission for the Chairman's Award.
Big thanks to Parent/Mentor Tony Sterret and Awards/PR/Safety Captain Tia Waters for putting this together.
