Re: pic: Chief Delphi (#47)

ok lets see

looks like you decided to not use any pneumatics this year.

2 atwoods for the drivetrain
2 drills for the arm. one to move it up and down the "main post" the other to rotate it (with help of surgucal tubing?)
1 vandoor to rotate the "stilt" made out of diamond plate

I like the "stilts" one to lift the front up the 1' platform and the other to life the back and roll untill the robot is mostly up on the platform

the rest a guesses

it does look like from the pictures that you have a second vandoor to move the "stilt" on the side of the ball mecanism. But I didnt think that a second vandoor was allowed so i am probably wrong on that

ether 2 Globe motors or 2 FP's to open,close the claw (by having 2 you are able to move across the bar while hanging)

whatever is left for the ball mechanism.

Very surprized that the ball chute/tube doesnt extend up any higher (or does it? )

all in all looks like a very nice robot, with quite a few capabilities. Looking foward to seeing it in person in San Jose
