Go to Post It seems ironic to me that a robotics competition would come down to human error, which is precisely what the field of robotics attempts to prevent. - David8696 [more]

Engineer on team #47, Chief Delphi, from Pontiac Central High School and Delphi Automotive Systems.



Hi all,

At long last, I have been able to catch my breath
enough to snap a picture or two of the robot that has
more or less taken over my life.

The link below has more pictures if you are interested.

By the way, you can upload your own photos of your
robot to our gallery if you want. It is easy and you
don't need to have your own web site or even any
special software to do the deed.

Now to the details. You've got questions, I have some
answers...

Q1
Does it go over the ramp?
A1
In theory, yes, but we have not actually TRIED it yet.
Soon we will know. Of course, we have every
expectation of theory being proven out in practice, but
I have been playing this FIRST game long enough to be
careful.

Q2
Does it go over the bar?
A2
No, unless you mean reach over the bar, then yes.

Q3
Does it go under the bar?
A3
Yes in theory, see A1

Q4
Does it pick up big balls?
A4
Yes.

Q5
Does it pick up little balls?
A5
Yes.

Q6
How many goals can it pull?
A6
In theory, 2. See A1

Q7
Can it balance 2 goals on the bridge with itself in the
middle?
A7
We are certainly hoping so! See A1

Q8
Can it back a cherry pie?
A8
Yes, a very little one on top of the beacon bulb ;-)

Q9
Does it Swerve?
A9
What do you expect us to say?

Here's to high scores all the way around.

Joe J.

P.S. Contrary to folks who put out the idea that I've
been sandbagging you all, CD 6 has not been done for
ages. We have failed to follow our own advice to
rookies and finish early to give our drives tons of
time behind the wheel. Ah well. We hope that it comes
out okay in the end. Stay tuned...
