Re: Pictures of where your robot is at this point1

Here's where we are so far:



Having a belly pan span the entire length of the chassis is really helpful for mounting electronics and pneumatics while leaving plenty of room for wire/tube routing. This is almost all of the electronics that go on the robot (minus, as I said, some cables and tubing)

Also, we tried to make the catapult as safe as possible by adding the amazingly useful pool noodles, an interlock system, and very safe programming/procedures for the launch sequence. If everything goes as planned, there should be no casualties or even slight mishaps involved with the design, construction, and competition of this catapult!

Also note that this is only 1/2 the robot... more to come
