Very impressive, as always the green looks super cool!

Is the little piece of metal in front a goal grabber?

Re: pic: 179 Swampthing 2k4

Nice robot... I see you're gonna use window motors to move the 2x ball and globes to move the arms... But the thing that puzzles me is the use of the van door motor, which I supose is to somehow with some device go up on the 10ft pull up bar.
There's a question though, does the arm have enough strength that the globe motors won't stall or backwind when lifting up the 3 pound 2x ball?

Re: pic: 179 Swampthing 2k4

Nice robot, and I'm glad you guys are going to Nationals this year. I kind of expected a super POed robot from you guys this year, since last year's robot took up the entire ramp and is constently angrified.

Looks like you reverse engineered the 312 machine from 2001.

Might look like that, but I highly doubt they had that in mind. Many bots will have similar design, but will most likely not be identical.

OK.
It's green.
It runs on batteries, no gas.
It's a earth-friendly green machine. LOL :-)
Nice job on the bot.

The pvc is great at lifting the balls and the motors do just fine. we cant drive up the stairs, our wheels are only 6 inches, but we can get up onto the platform if we use the arm. It runs like a dreamy swamp thing.
