Re: pic: 179 Swampthing 2k5 innards
wow. looks nice and beefy and green. like how you guys have the frame inset for your compressor. guessing the battery might be that low too. wondering what those legs are for and what that center is gonna be supporting. like how you guys offset the center wheels outwards too. so this is another way to help a 6wd turn. hmm. just curious. whats that angle? does it have a specific reason? other than it looks sweet and maybe stronger and compact?

Those piston arms are for dropping the hanging tets in auto, also used to upright the bot if it fell on it's side. Also they collect human player tetras, so we can carry 4. But tonight we took the back 2 off, I don't think we'll need them. They work good for scoring human tets under/inside goals if we choose to do that any. They also increase the size of the bot during autonomous (making it easier to find the opponent) in order to disrupt vision tet caps. |

That is incredible.
Sidenote: What did you use for tire treads? |

Re: pic: 179 Swampthing 2k5 innards
That is most definitely not all one piece. You can see welds all over the place.
Looks great though, can't wait to see this thing in action (arm included) |
