Re: The Octabot: Unveiling Rookie Team 2543's Robot

Thanks for the encouragement Don. Its kind of shocking that we actually pulled off something that works as well as it does. We barely touched even 1/4 of the parts from the kit. We couldn't figure out what most of the stuff did, let alone how to work it. I personally am very happy with what we have, I just wish I was not graduating this year because I would love to participate next year.

Thanks as well Viper. The little sucker is hard to control with its center-point turning like we designed it. Many on the team were skeptical about having a 2x2 foot robot (length x width). Your teams robot looks quite interesting as well. Your forklift is quite an interesting idea. I would say the other teams forklift type ideas were nice, but I only saw yours working, other then the one with the big yellow claw. Theirs was really nice, but the fact that they have a profesional robot builter helping them, I would have expected as much. Noticed you guys were working on it quite a bit at Madison, so I hope you got it all working in time to be shipped.
