Re: pic: 447 Teaser

I hadnt seen that. I had thought the car was just supposed to cover up the robot. It would actually look quite a bit like the car had the arm on it if the car were in focus and the camera were lowered a few inches so you couldnt see the top of the car. I think that (at least on my digital camera) there is a way you can select something you want to focus on or something, and if you put the camera on a tripod and took two pics, one where you focused on the car, and the other on the arm then used photoshop to put them together you could probably get kind of a neat effect. Then again if you are using photoshop then I guess you could just skip it all and photoshop the arm in.
Anyway that was all kind of irrelevant. I cant stop looking at that arm. I love looking at other teams robots because they look so nice. We build our robots using a wood band saw, a sawzall, a grinder, and most importantly absolutely no design. Sometimes we have sort of a general idea but mostly we just think it up as we go.
