Storage Hunter Finds a FRC Robot
 

Can anyone identify who's robot this is?

I saw it on a preview of Storage Hunters. I guess the episode is suppose to air Tuesday @ 10:00 pm on TruTV.

You can definitely see both styles of IFI Radios, the 2011 12v-5v DC Converter, and the new 2"x12" Accumulator. Looks like it could have been a practicebot for the 2011 game.



I wonder if this is one of FIRST marketing campaigns because this show is extremely fake and most stuff looks planted.

I'd love to know what they did with this/what their first reaction was!

It looks like it has the radio from pre cRIO days, but also has the power converter from this year's radio. Not sure what the dark gray box on the upper arm near the cylinder is.

Also looks like someplace cold.

its definitely a robot from this year, not only does it have the power converter from the KOP, in the bottom right hand corner you can clearly see the new larger air tanks. The claw on the arm could be used to lift inner tubes.

I'd like to know who's robot it is.

the radio on the mast is 2007/2008 radio, the box on the arm is a 2006 radio. rather strange with 2 radios....

Re: Storage Hunter Finds a FRC Robot
 

There also appears to be one of the 12V/5V converters we used to power the D-Link bridge on the arm above the 2007/2008 IFI radio.

Narrowing it down a little more, the people are all wearing coats, so it must be from someplace cold.

just looked up the episode, its Called "Score of the century". :O I didnt know FRC Bots could be so valueable :P

Re: Storage Hunter Finds a FRC Robot
 

...hey! Is that a converter from this year's radio I see?! :P

It doesn't seem like converter is really running to somewhere. One of the wires is blatantly hanging off, and the other two are running just behind the arm. The IFI radio along the top is missing the connector along the bottom of it. And I'm not sure where the yellow tube is running to on the robot...

It looks like the production crew just started taping parts to a robot.

My guess is Boston, they had a clip about "Beantown Brawlers". And it looks similar to 1277's 07 robot.

Re: Storage Hunter Finds a FRC Robot
 

I am going to guess that the people who built this needed a five volt regulator and found this one somewhere. I will bet the robot is several years old. Likely a Rack And Roll proto. That was the first year for the new IFI radio and teams would have mounted the old radio while prototyping. Note that only the new radio has a serial cable attached.

Re: Storage Hunter Finds a FRC Robot
 

This is very likely....

Re: Storage Hunter Finds a FRC Robot
 

Brandon, i am 90% sure you absolutely correct.
I think it is Boston or nearby. I was watching a clip, and the storage they were "fighting" for was in Boston.
Furthermore, i believe 1277 is probably the robot.
Here's a picture of their competition robot:
