Re: pic: How 1251 shipped.

Re: pic: How 1251 shipped.
P.S. Do you really need that compressor? If you're just using the air to run the shifting cylinders, you can scrap it. If you're using the AndyMarks like we are, you can get well over 100 shifts...

Re: pic: Delphi Demons 2006 finished robot
I like the funnel idea to get everything down to one ball-width to avoid binding. How well does your funnel end up working? I noticed with some prototypes that in many cases it would still cause the...

Re: pic: 2006 HOTBOT
I've noticed one thing with the shooter design that I would think could be an extremely major issue. By having that ball travelling on that arc which is a passive system for it's length of time, any...

Re: pic: Protecting the Camera is No Joke
Whenever the camera is on and tracking in the background you need to have the Laffy Taffy song on... "Shake that Laffy Taffy... that Laffy Taffy..." cause with the sprinkler effect of the camera,...

Re: pic: Team 81's Programmer's Teaser Explained

Re: pic: Team 81's Programmer's Teaser Explained
You were able to get your system to recognize balls using the camera? Didn't you run into the same issues as we did last year with tetras and the ambient lighting issues? I'm curious how you were...

Re: pic: OH NO!!!
You don't need to wear safety goggles around poof balls fortunately. As Team 1902's R&D department discovered, poof balls don't fit in your eyes.

Re: pic: SPAM's 2006 robot

Ah, there she is. Probably the robot I've been waiting for the most because of the ingenius (and beautiful) design back in 2002. I can't wait to see her at competition.

Re: pic: 48 Controls Teaser
I like that "Auto Fire" button. I'd love to see teams get to use that camera to automatically detect and fire when the scenario allows. I had originally designed a system and coded it to do this, but...
