Re: Coolest 'Bot Carts

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but i have to talk about our cart. It is only me and one of my friends building this years cart and it is all our own funding and using old parts. Last year we had 2 subs and a nice stereo, but didnt look that great. This year we have the subs on exposed behind lexan, the amp and robot controls exposed behind lexan. We'll also have 2 10" neons and 1 18" neon both are connected to a music interface to go w/ the beat of the music. We are using to cim motors to power it. 1 on each wheel. It'll be tethered. We will also have 4 6x9 speakers amplifier, Headunit, and DVDplayer and 7" screen. We were thinking about using a scissor lift powered by pnumatis but we thought it would be too dangerous to have a 130 pound robot lifted 4 ft in the air using pnumatics. It'd be bad if something failed and the robot came smashing down. Last year at nationals you could proabably hear us playing our music, Im sure it got annoying. We were still nothing compared to that thunder team, but we also arent sponsored by blaupunkt and streetglow. I have to say that cart was amazing though. Come see our cart this year in team 930s pit in chicago and NAtionals. Or u could just stay in your pit and listen
