Are ya sure that can't go into the water?

I'm surprised and very hopeful that somehow that long chain in the rear has been modified or changed. It looks a little crazy flapping in the wind. Can't wait to see ya guys!

Can you explain a little more on how it works. Like do you store balls in a hopper? can you shoot balls? Are you a pure herding robot? It looks interesting but I can't total figure out how it works from the pictures.

Can I bring my truck by? Its needs a wash, wax, and the chrome needs to be polished.

3 channels to hold balls. Max 8 per channel most likely 5-6 depending on the operator.We can shoot 2 channels at a time maybe 3. We can also shoot balls into lower goal and herd (push) them into to lower goals. We can also climb the ramp.

The rear motors and chain have been changed since this photo. We added another 2' chain to each side.

We wash floors, cars, walls, bikes and almost anything else that comes by. Not only do we have a robot that plays the games, it also is great at fund raising.

Hey whats this, I wasn't aware of our nickname! If so, our drive team last year could have named the robot last year the Chinese Power Tower. Or something like that.

And yes, this may be one of the funniest looking robots we've ever produced, but definitely one of the most structurally sound. If you remember our infamous collapsible elevator of last year that managed to snap back together with great effect, it has nothing on this year's version.

Blizzard 7 is ready to rock and roll in 2 days at FLR!

its the Wagner Power Bot!

if you get tipped over you should have no problem climbing the ramp

Spongebob would be proud.

I bet it could give a great back massage if you ran the rollers back and forth! You could offer the service in your pit for all the weary competitors.

oooo, i get dibs!

I hope those are pool-noodle rollers. Our best prototype was so equipped.

[Kelvin Ng]

WOW that's one sick robot. 2 shooters, a wide collector...and is that mr. rollie back there? haha what may he be working on? any more pictures of videos available?

P.S. i miss the days working at woburn...i even know that your tablesaw room is hidden behind your bot.

Just for those wondering, they are paint rollers not pool noodles. Pool noodles don't hold up as well and are really hard to find up in the Great White North at this time of year.

I think if you ask for "Ice Rink Noodles," then you'll have more success (They have pools in Canada?)...
