Re: pic: #3083's Robot- Shybot
Thanks!
Actually that's Lycra fiber.. we used it's ability to stretch up to 3 times the original size (!!!) and a girl from our team sewed it with special strong velcros that connected it to our chassis.. we actually have two of those "tents" and we switch them according to the alliance color.
The biggest surprise was its strength. The fact we stretched it made balls actually bounce right off it... pretty cool.. now we're working on printing on it.
here is a picture of our red format: http://yfrog.com/2gredshybotj
