A 150$ robot
 

This is a video of team 3734's build season, completed in a $150 budget built completely from the KOP except for the 150 spent on some metal. Just thought I'd show what a rookie team (only 10 students, no engineers, and a mentor from IT) could complete with the KOP.

Very cool stuff, I hope to see them back next year doing more.

I remember seeing your robot practice at the WI Regional. It looked like a nice simple design for scoring on the bottom row. Congradulations on a successful rookie season and earning the Highest Ranked Rookie team award! (even though you weren't there to accept it :eek:). I hope to see your team at the regional next year.

Now you need to find a sponsor who will loan you staff for mentors. That would be great for you guys.

WOOOOOW!!!!!!

I have seen so many rookie bots who cant move period! You not only have an arm you seem to be able to hang some! And for $150? Ok hears a cookie and a small planet. This is extremely impressive for a group totally green to first:D

You keep going up and you'll be playing with the big boys in no time.

that is an amazing acomplishment. i think the best we ever did was 570 ish, in 2010.

Re: A 150$ robot
 

Excellent for a first-year team! Imagine you guys with some sponsor engineers :yikes:

Re: A 150$ robot
 

I was impressed by your rookie robot at Wisconsin and that was before I knew you only spent $150 to build it. Really impressive. More rookies (and some vets) should do what you did and ensure that you have a good drivetrain. I look fowared to seeing what you come up with next year.

Re: A 150$ robot
 

Well done! A small rookie team building a robot with a minimal budget and winning Highest Rookie Seed award is no doubt impressive. To me, this endeavor is unheard of.

Re: A 150$ robot
 

Next step. Enlist the help of a veteran team to help you guys line up some sponsors. We'd be happy to help out!

Re: A 150$ robot
 

Thank you for the support everyone, everyone on my team was greatly encouraged by reading it =]

Re: A 150$ robot
 

Wow, props to you. That's amazing. Half the robots at the dallas regional couldn't move, and you guys built a robot with $150, that can HANG TUBES!
