Re: Storage Hunter Finds a FRC Robot

I'm kind of surprised so many of you are jumping to the conclusion that there is no way a team could've put a robot together to look like that. With our team located in the heart of Boston, we work with almost every team in the area in some fashion. There are many teams where I could see something like this being assembled.

Quite a few teams in the area are severely under-resourced when it comes to engineering support and FIRST experience.

If someone was using their 2007 bot, or practice bot and wanted to try some new code with the new control system it could easily explain why both systems are there.

I've seen quite a few bored students from time to time, and weaving pneumatic tubing through the frame seems like an extremely plausible thing for them to do.


I dunno, just seems like theres nothing so outrageous there that a team couldn't have done it.
