Re: Beatty's 2004 Robot

Mr Bill and son Brian are way ahead of everyone else. These 2 guys and their awesome crew will bring out a machine with the capabilities of nothing we have ever seen before. They will start out flat on the ground for autonomous and shoot straight for the opposite end of the platform (opponents side), drop down into low gear on the file cards from a couple years ago and push the entire goal back towards their end of the field (thus making the opponents human shoot twice as far - and their students shoot 4 feet) after pushing the platform they will stand back up and unleash a long telescoping pole and grab the bar - and hoist themselves up to the top where they will then release a scissors mechanisms that severs the strings, cables, and ropes of all of the other hanging robots. But, because they are the gracious professionals that they are, they will slowly lower each of the opponents from the hooks that they had attached to them - prior to cutting them free! Can't wait until Midwest Regional this weekend to see their "Beast"!
