Look Great and love the shark but are you guys going to have bumpers if you going to be a defense bot???
And see yeah at Boilermaker!!!

[FourPenguins]

that's quite a...something!
I really love the plates! How did you cut those? (It looks almost too good to be a CNC.)

[Ben Piecuch]

My... what big wheels you have!

One of the best looking 1pt players out there. (By best looking, I mean both artistically and mechanically.) Kudos!

What kind of motors are you guys using?
Its cool to see go-kart wheels, very nice. And very nice side panels and graphics

[David Hoff]

Great job guys. It looks like Morristown has created another stout defensive bot. Good luck at Boilermaker!

Thank you! I really appreciate it! Believe it or not, we drew those out and cut them with a jigsaw (the holes with a holesaw). Lots of WD-40 and swearing (they had already been given a coat of primer, and it was getting mangled by the footplate of the saw, but it got touched up.) Hated having to cut up those nice pretty fenders, but I think it came out looking better than when we started.

POLISH703- we are using two of the small CIMs per side in a two speed gearbox. Low gear gives us, eh, I reckon around 5-6 fps, but we never really timed it. (I think that our low gears are a little too low, but we do have A LOT of torque going to the floor. ) High gear was timed with the bot up on blocks at about 14 fps, so add 120 lbs. and the drag of the big wheels and I reckon we get at least 12 in high gear.

Thanks for all the feedback, y'all!

With the help of one of our engineers, I drew them, and I hated it. I was glad that after I left they decided to modify a bit on what to cut out of it.

I'll agree with the swearing. Swearing, twitching, and cringing. That was a sad, sad day.

And Jerry, you almost killed Chrispy with your high-pitched jigsaw cutting... I think she's back to normal now. Well, normal for Chrispy that is.

Thank you all for the compliments... it's nice to hear what you all think of the bot. Also great to know that we're not the only ones who fell in love with it.

Haha, don't worry...we've got matching yellow bumpers. Personally, I think it's a sexy robot (or as sexy as a robot can get...heh.) Thanks for the compliments! Good luck at other regionals if you have any before the Boilermaker! -The Chrispy One

[Ryan Dognaux]

Dang! That's what I said when I first saw this bot. That thing is a beast.

393 & Defense = A great combination. Can't wait to see you guys in action at Boilermaker!
