Robowranglers 2012: Scorpion

[Jeff Waegelin]

The Robowranglers are proud to present our 2012 robot: SCORPION.

Just a little teaser, this year, though:

All will be revealed at Alamo, Midwest, Dallas East, and the Championship!

Impressive bot once again can't wait to see the whole thing!

Waaaaaaaaait ... I thought this was for 148.

I always look forward to 148's videos because I'm always too far away to see the robot in person. What was the reasoning behind the decision not to showcase your robot?

Just decided we were going to keep things a little more under wraps this season. We wanted to keep people guessing a little bit Besides, you'll be able to see it in action on the webcast from San Antonio next week!

I do hope that the RoboWranglers will post a release video of their 2012 robot at some point. Sometimes when things aren't so great with our robot I will sit down and watch the previous release videos still on youtube. The music, the robot and the fun the RoboWranglers seem to have gets me inspired again.

You know it isn't reveal season until 148 comes out! Looks fantastic, as usual!

I too miss the full video. Regardless of not showing it before season - any way we can get one during/after? Theyre really motivational especially for new members. And it was becoming a FIRST tradition

[Chexposito]

I miss the long videos. I still think Raptor was the coolest robot last season due to the design that I saw documented and demonstrated effectively.

Another awesome Robowrangler machine! Can't wait to see it in action.

I would say there is more in the video than you think, if you look hard enough.

Nice shot Colin.

The best part is that shot was the very first attempt we filmed.

There was almost a Diet Coke spit take off camera at 0:42; too bad we didn't catch that on video.

Oh, how I have awaited the day for the 148 video to be released...

Very well done. The red lights and the black metal are always a classic. That final inbounder shot was also quite intimidating; points will certainly be made towards the end.

Can't wait to see you guys.

I just watched the video at 1/4 speed to figure out what's going on on this robot. Here is what I've figure out, hope the robowranglers don't mind, but I figure it is fair game because it's in the video.
-8 wheel drive
-You were prototyping a helper arm to assist you in keeping the bridge balance by touching the ground
-It looks like you are shooting from the fender but I could be mistaken. If you are and that is your strategy I would love it because that would make me feel better about our strategy.
-Your robot is going to be awesome as always.
