Re: Robowranglers 2015: Batman & Robin
I'd rather this thread not turn into either
a) picking apart the robot's potential flaws (ex: But what if they drive over the tether?) I'm sure 148 has these figured out to the best of their ability.
or
b) "That robot was built by engineers not students"
If you really watch the reveal video a number of times and look hard at the individual mechanisms, they're not that complicated.
Batman has an arm, a short elevator, and a roller collector.
Robin has a short elevator and a little door mechanism.
"Catwoman" has some way to fall over and the spool that pulls the containers in.
The little engineering details that make this robot so great are what I marvel over. It's not complicated conceptually, but the whole thing is a brilliant, elegant solution to this years game.
If the 148 machines don't go far in divisional eliminations, I'd be very,very, surprised.
