is that a ball shooter???
or is a fancy hopper?
are you using rocker suspension??

[Greg Needel]

well it is sort-of a fancy ball hopper but it has alot of other uses like picking up the big ball....that whole assembly moves up it is seen better in this picture http://www.midnightinvention.com/pages/P2240644.htm

Not only does it carry the proud name of Tigerbolt, it also looks very similar in design to the 1996 National Champion Tigerbolt robot. That in itself will strike fear in many...especially if it is as fast as its great grandfather! Great job guys.

it might be faster.....


and we did use some concepts from the 96 bot.. for those who don't remeber here is a pic

I knew an first sight that these two robots were related.

Tiger Bolt won my FIRST year of FIRST, as such, they are forever THE champions in my mind.

Here's to another great robot from The Champions...
