THis is a cool robot- is that lexan or plexiglass I see?

Also, I notice many swiss cheese speed holes. Is it typical for teams to add those?

normally the holes are typical, not for the speed, but to get within the weight requirement

Speed Holes is a term from an episode of The Simpsons. Homer was dressed as Krusty the Klown at a car dealership. The Springfield Mafia tryed to kill Krusty (Homer) via bullets. All shots missed and hit the hood of the car Homer was thinking about buying.

"What are these holes?"
"Those are .. speed holes .. they make the car go faster"

Good ol' used car salesmen techniques.

Well, Homer didn't get the car, but he did take a pick-axe to his to put in "Speed Holes" all the while bragging to the godly witted Flanders.


Yeah, I need sleep.

*does the happy dance* pink! We were the pink and black team but this year we didn't get to keep those colors (sponsors chose the colors and the guys on the team didn't want to be forced to wear pink again)

Good to see your new robot. Good luck to you guys this year. I'll try to think pink as much as possible.

And I think the term "speed holes" has been around for much longer than the Simpsons. I remember seeing an old indy car (like really old) in the Indianapolis Motor Speedway museum that had tons of holes drilled in it to make it faster, not because of aerodynamics (which would actually have the opposite effect, I think) but for weight. The lighter the car, the less weight the engine has to accelerate, hence, "speed holes".

Looks solid and in the weight range after the diet

Place your attention entirely on my voice and try to ignore all the others. It is important to be able to focus on a single source of information while blocking out all the other things competing for your attention.

Great Bot! I like the pink... I'm starting to hear an echo...

Is it just me or does the title of the pic say "arms out" when it seems the arms are in?

Oh well, I like the bot and wish you guys good luck.

Well yangotang, when we were a rookie team, we had a spirit team meeting. And not a single guy showed up. You can figure it out from there...
