Go to Post I bet if anyone took a look at the 118's Bill of Materials the only thing that would be on there is hard work and that's priceless. - rcmolloy [more]

Thumbs up That robot of 2k,hmmm

That was our first year, we had a design that was actually very similar with the telescoping boom and the basket with rollers, we thought (minus swerve, clamshell basket). First we watched the swerve (that was our first sighting of a robot with swerve, pause to wipe drool of lower lip), then when we saw the balls get jammed in the enclosed basket the darn thing opened up like a mouth(I couldn't believe the design, pure amazement) then we lost in the semi-finals and watched in the finals when the thing turned into a vaccuum and cleaned out the oponents and won at GLR. That robot was what I considered the standard by which I judged all others (although I never saw it grab the bar but I heard it could if it wanted) last year it was the Beast, same thing, so fluid in its design. Last years CD6 was a marvel in itself though, using, what, every motor and air cylinder and still making weight. Is it possible? Was it built of some aluminum alloy that is lighter than air??? The biggest problem with Chief Delphi is that they raise the bar on themselves each year, it must be tough for the team to come up with something more amazing each year and not be TOTALLY burned out. We did learn a few lessons from the team, this year we used motions of the mechanisms for more than one purpose similar to the way CD6 brought the goal grabbers down after the start. If they don't want to show it fine but I anxiously await seeing what marvel that team has come up with.
