Re: pic: 1675 - 2011

Now for some real video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2r7wwdsRFm4

Here are the facts:

- 8" Mecanum drive directly driven off of AM Toughbox Nanos geared at 12.75:1
- Custom 2x1 tube chassis
- Three stage (two cascading stages) elevator lift using teflon pads at contact points
- Winch powered by single FP with standard gearbox driving a 2" drum
- FP Victor is set to "motor brake" mode for a slow drift for scoring
- Elbow joint is balanced with surgical tubing and powered by a single window motor
- Roller claw has a hinged upper arm held tight with surgical tubing
- Rollers are driven by independent BaneBot 550s running 1:144 gearboxes (this will be changed to 1:132 in Milwaukee if the new gearboxes ever arrive)
- Total weight as shown (minus bumpers and battery) is 106.0
- Minibot works but will be improved; deployment still being worked on

Mark, we can't believe it either =)

The electronics have taken some abuse the last couple of days, but additional measures have been taken to prevent this from happening again.
