Re: 2008 Wisconsin Regional
My favorite robot at the Wisconsin Regional was from Team 1730. I especially liked their Mortar. We were fortunate to be situated across from the practice field and was able to watch all teams checking out their robot. The 1730 robot was cool to watch. The mortar idea was great with the surgical tubing and ball screw. I saw them using a sensor switch that automatically closed their gripper when the ball was positioned correctly. That was a great idea. Their ball removal idea was similar to ours and very effective. They were well deserving of the Delphi "Driving Tomorrow's Technology" Award.
As far as arm bots vs shooter bots............... I agree that there are enough threads on this site concerning the discussion. My only observation is that I believe the highest scoring points in a match at Milwaukee came from 2 arm bots. It was 118 points I believe.
