704 Release Video

[Matt704]

This is a different video than what was slapped together for the showcase last night.

This is Bonnie's Cookie Monster our 2013 robot. It is named after the late Bonnie Smith, our team Grandma who passed away earlier this year.

We have six wheel drive (4 traction & 2 omni), a belt shooter (with 6 inch pulleys and conveyer belt material), ground pick up using poly cord and a dust pan like scooping action, and a hanging device that was not in the video.

So her it is. Bonnie's Cookie Monster

Bonnie was a great lady and a long time volunteer at the Lone Star regional. The last few years she wasn't able to volunteer, however Team 704 could always count on her for a big batch of cookies. She will be missed, but we know she is in a better place now.

My condolences to Bonnie,
I like the unique design !
Looking forward to seeing 704 back at the Lone Star Regional!

What mechanism are you using to collect frisbees ?

Were excited to go back after 2 years away!

We use basically a trey that we flip down with pneumatics and then the Frisbee slides on to it as we drive and then we flip the trey back up against poly cord where its pushed up into our shooting apparatus.
