On one of the ancient Photo gallery sites that used to hang around here there was once a picture of a robot from a team in ?Arizona? that lasted only one season. I think it was 2004's game, possibly earlier.

The robot was a tall one, with the manipulator designed out of beautiful anodized aluminum elliptical tubing for arms in the front of the robot and I believe it has some graphic design elements that were way ahead of its time. I haven't seen elliptical tubing used like that since.

The last time I saw a picture of this robot it was 2006, since then to my knowledge the server went off line, and I'm not sure if they way back machine has a copy of it.


If anybody can help me find this robot, or even verify the existance of it many green dots will be had. I don't want to sound like a crazy person.

As far as the mystery team, the only one of the 3-digit AZ teams that isn't still competing is 898--and they weren't a one-and-done, '04 was their final year of 3. IIRC, they preferred a desert camo pattern (and I want to say that they're (one of) the reasons for the lexan on the field sides, after they ended a practice match E-stopped under the stands in '03 having gone under the wire...).


207 should go onto the list--they've always had a very nice-looking robot. There's a reason they're called "Metalcrafters".

No update.

I'm combing through archives to find stuff.

Thank You Jason Rudolph for restoring http://firstrobotpics.com back to the improved glory days of firstrobotics.net

I'm currently browsing until i find it. I'm coming for you mystery bot.

Great Scott I think I've found it. Or at least one that vaguely fits my mental description, it was yellow.

Ok the Arizona thing was wrong.
It Was a 3 digit team.
It was 2002, not 2004.
It was not a 1 and done team...

It Was... 910 Foley Freeze in 2002.
