video: Team THRUST 1501 Lunacy 2009 Robot

Here is a video I dedicated to my students.

This year was one of the best 1501 years in my book. Our students did such a great job. So many of them deserve credit for their thoughts, ideas, leadership and dedication to the program this year.

One student designed the drive base that was inspiration from a concept car, another prototyped a kicker idea which spawned into a pneumatic shooter, to several other students developing lead roles on the team in electrical and programming and taken charge of those departments from start to end.

I highlighted not only the robot but a "few" members I caught on camera, I wished I had gotten them all.

It was fun to sit back and watch the 2009 season unfold and the spark that these kids had doing what they have learned.

Very proud of you 1501 students.

Please come by our pits at BMR and ask my students "what they have done"...

Here is the video of the bot:
